Enhanced depth imaging-optical coherence tomography revealed decreasing choroidal thickness with high-dose corticosteroid treatment in our patients. Choroidal thickness as measured by EDI-OCT may serve as a marker for degree of choroidal inflammation in acute VKH disease.

An aggressive corticosteroid treatment strategy in a large number of patients with new-onset acute VKH disease, with transitioning to cyclosporine in selected cases, resulted in excellent visual outcomes and low rates of recurrence.

The most frequent diagnoses were sarcoidosis, VKH disease, acute anterior uveitis, Behçet's disease and tuberculosis, with Behçet's disease being common in young men and sarcoidosis being common in elderly women. One-fourth of patients received systemic corticosteroids and 8.7% of patients required other immunomodulatory agents.

Infliximab over the first year of treatment appeared effective in reducing ocular inflammatory attacks, as well as background retinal and disc vascular leakage, in patients with refractory uveoretinitis associated with Behçet's disease.

The majority of children and adolescents who presented to us with uveitis had bilateral disease and no systemic disease associations. Only one-fifth of patients required systemic therapy to control their ocular inflammation, and most eyes had a good visual outcome.
