Its characteristic feature of Port-wine Stain in patient's face has been an important indicator for screening secondary glaucoma, which further provides patients with possibility of early diagnosis and treatment of Sturge-Weber Syndrome induced glaucoma. This paper focuses on the pathogenesis, risk factors and treatment of Sturge-Weber Syndrome secondary glaucoma. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2018, 54: 229-233).
