“…[72] In 2004, at 2-year follow-up, 94% of patients treated by Frau et al with proton beam radiation had visual acuity improvement of two or more lines, and 65% of subjects showed complete tumor resolution. [63] Zografos et al [73] reported a series of 48 eyes with circumscribed choroidal hemangioma treated with a radiation dose ranging from 16.4 to 27.3 Gy and all of the patients had resolution of exudative retinal detachment but three patients treated with 27.3 Gy developed optic neuropathy.…”

Circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas are benign vascular hamartomas without systemic associations. Generally, they are orange-red elevated masses, which are found posterior to the equator. Lesions are usually solitary and unilateral. Overlying subretinal fluid, serous retinal detachment and cystoid macular edema are common findings. Intravenous fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, ultrasonography, optical coherence tomography and enhanced depth imaging are helpful ancillary tests for diagnosis of circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas. Asymptomatic circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas do not require treatment. For symptomatic lesions with exudative retinal detachment or cystoid macular edema, photodynamic therapy has emerged as the treatment of choice with high rates of tumor regression, subretinal fluid resorption and minimal complications. Lens-sparing external beam radiotherapy, plaque brachytherapy, proton beam therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, transpupillary thermotherapy, laser photocoagulation and anti-VEGF injections are other treatment modalities.

RESUMOA síndrome de Sturge-Weber (SSW) é uma desordem neuro-oculocutânea, rara e congênita. Esta facomatose, também conhecida como angiomatose encéfalotrigeminal, é definida pela tríade clássica: hemangiomas cutâneo, meníngeo e ocular. Apesar de sua apresentação típica, formas incompletas não são incomuns. O glaucoma está frequentemente presente e seus mecanismos fisiopatológicos permanecem incertos. Talvez por isso, o manejo clínico e cirúrgico do glaucoma associado à síndrome de Sturge-Weber (GSSW) seja um desafio para a prática oftalmológica, muitas vezes com resultados desapontadores. Apresentamos uma revisão da literatura com ênfase no GSSW, sua patogênese e perspectivas terapêuticas.Descritores Recebido para publicação em: 3/8/2010 -Aceito para publicação em 23/9/2011
