Abstract:
Encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis (Sturge-Weber syndrome) is a congenital sporadic disease characterized by angiomatosis of meningeal vessels, facial and eye capillaries. The article presents a clinical case of comorbidity between monolateral skin angioma, ipsilateral conjunctival and choroidal angiomas without intraocular pressure elevation. The case is unusual due to asynchronous manifestation of the clinical signs of Sturge-Weber syndrome. Facial angioma was diagnosed at birth, while conjunctival angioma appeared at the age of 45 - at the same time as monolateral hypermetropia, which may be the first symptom of diffuse choroidal angioma.
