    Left fundus photograph of a 44-year-old man showing patchy ischemic retinal whitening associated with Sturge-Weber Syndrome. The precise cause of this rare complication remains unclear, but it may be linked to choroidal vascular congestion and a compartment syndrome-like effect on the local retinal arteriolar circulation. OCT imaging confirmed inner retinal ischemia and thickening
