Purpose: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) is an autoimmune disease with bilateral granulomatous uveitis and various systemic manifestations. Bilateral acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG) can be a rare initial manifestation of VKH that may be misdiagnosed as primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG). Case report: A 62-year-old woman with bilateral painless loss of vision referred to Qingdao Municipal Hospital. She had been diagnosed as PACG before admission and prescribed with anti-glaucoma treatment which did not improve her symptom. She had severe bilateral uveitis, optic disk swelling, and serous retinal detachment in both eyes. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 20 mmHg in the right eye and 23 mmHg in the left eye, and her best corrected visual acuities (BCVAs) were 0.02 in both eyes. She was treated with oral corticosteroid therapy on a tapering schedule. One month after the therapy, the IOP remained well-controlled with deepened anterior chamber. Her visual acuity and symptom were improved. Conclusions: We experienced a case of VKH disease with an unusual presentation of bilateral secondary AACG. It is important for ophthalmologists to know about this rare cause of painless loss of vision so that it could be treated properly.

Introduction: Acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG) is typically considered a disease of adulthood. However, AACG may occasionally be seen in children. The clinical presentation is similar to adults, including headache, vomiting, and eye pain. However, the etiology of angle closure in children is different and most often associated with congenital anterior segment abnormalities. A precipitating factor of AACG in children with previous established, anterior segment abnormalities is eye dilation, which may occur during routine ophthalmological examination with topical mydriasis, or physiologic mydriasis upon entering a dark room. Case Report: We describe a 5-year-old child with a history of severe prematurity and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) presenting with bilateral AACG following a routine outpatient, dilated ophthalmological examination. While angle-closure glaucoma has previously been reported in cases of ROP, a bilateral acute attack of AACG following pupil dilation in regressed ROP has hitherto been unreported. Conclusion: Given the association of ROP and AACG, it can be expected that as the survival rate of premature infants improves, the incidence of ROP and AACG may also increase. It is therefore prudent for the emergency physician to have AACG on the differential for pediatric patients with headache and eye pain.
