Abstract
- Purpose: To report the cases of two patients who presented with acute Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease and associated retinal pigment epithelium detachment (PED). Methods: 2 case reports. Case 1: A 22-year-old male patient complained of acute bilateral decrease in vision. Initial best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/63, OU. There was 1+ vitreous cells, OU, exudative retinal detachment (ERD) in the right eye (RE), and a macular deep yellow lesion suggestive of PED in the left eye (LE). Case 2: A 40-year-old female patient presented with bilateral vision blurring. BCVA was 20/40 in the RE and 20/32 in the LE. There was 1+ vitreous cells OU, bilateral optic disc swelling and retinal striae. Results: Multimodal imaging showed features of acute VKH disease with associated PED in the two patients. ERD and PED resolved under oral prednisone and cyclosporine in both cases. Conclusion: PED may rarely occur in acute VKH disease at presentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
