Scleral infantile hemangiomas are rare. We describe a patient who presented at 3 months of age with an enlarging infantile hemangioma on the sclera of the left eye. He had two other hemangiomas on the left eyebrow and chest. Treatment with propranolol resulted in marked improvement of all of his hemangiomas. He did not develop any ocular complications.

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is characterized by facial port-wine stains, leptomeningeal hemangiomas, and prominent ocular manifestations such as glaucoma and diffuse choroidal hemangiomas (DCHs). Imaging modalities are critical for diagnosing and longitudinally monitoring DCHs in SWS. Fundus photography is fundamental in assessing both eyes simultaneously, fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography effectively map the retinal and choroidal circulation, and ultrasonography offers essential structural insights into the choroid and retina.
