Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome. It is described by the presence of leptomeningeal angiomas, ocular involvement such as choroidal hemangioma and glaucoma, and port-wine stain over the face. Management of SWS-associated ocular complications is challenging and needs regular follow-ups. Herein, we present a case of a 28-year-old male patient who underwent glaucoma surgery but did not adhere to regular follow-ups and later presented with left-sided exophthalmos and eye pain. Management with medical treatment (latanoprost) was effective in the short term, but regular follow-ups are crucial to prevent further progression due to high failure rates.
