Ocular Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada: Is it the era of diagnosis by OCT?
Abstract PURPOSE to report optical coherence tomography (OCT) changes of the retina during acute and recovery phases in a patient with atypical Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease presented for the first time with ocular symptoms and role of (OCT) in the diagnosis, following and assessing response to treatment.Methods Ophthalmologic examination, laboratory evaluation, fluorescein angiography, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography performed on a twenty-four-year-old female presented with a bilateral blurring of vision of 3 days.ResultsOCT disclosed multifocal subretinal lobulated cystic fluid collections with thickening and hyper-reflectance in outer retinal layers. Decreased retinal thickness and resolving subretinal fluid collections were seen after commencing treatment by systemic corticosteroids. Conclusion OCT is a very sensitive tool to diagnose and monitor the highly detailed retinal changes during the VKH course especially if presented primarily with ocular symptoms
