Surgical management of Sturge Weber-associated glaucoma is challenging. Choroidal effusion and expulsive choroidal hemorrhage are commonly cited potential risks. We report a case of a cilioretinal artery occlusion associated with glaucoma drainage device surgery in a child with refractory Sturge Weber-associated glaucoma.
