Ultrasound Biomicroscopic Findings of Acute Angle-closure Glaucoma in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome

Anterior segment optical coherence tomography findings of acute angle-closure glaucoma in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease

“…AS-OCT has also been used for measurements of corneal fl ap depth following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), of anterior chamber width prior to phakic intraocular lens implantation, and of morphologic changes occurring in eyes after glaucoma surgery. 2 Many studies have reported UBM fi ndings in VKH disease, [3][4][5] yet to the best of our knowledge this is the fi rst report about AS-OCT fi ndings of acute angle-closure glaucoma in VKH disease. After systemic corticosteroid treatment, AS-OCT images showed that the anterior chamber returned to the normal depth, the ciliary body reverted to its normal position, and the supraciliary fl uid disappeared in both eyes (Fig.…”

Annular choroidal detachment in a patient with Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease

“…There are a few reports of VKH disease associated with choroidal detachment [5,7,13,21,23]. Most of these cases were associated with prominent retinal detachments [5,13,21,23].…”

“…[5,7,13,21,23] A computer search using Medline did not reveal any publications of an annular choroidal detachment associated with VKH disease.…”

Posterior Uveitis

“…In the early stages, the anterior chamber may be shallow [ 138 ] because of ciliary edema, serous detachment of the ciliary body [ 96 ], and forward displacement of the lens-iris diaphragm. These fi ndings may cause a rise of the intraocular pressure (IOP) and acute angle closure glaucoma [ 139 ]. Harada's disease represents the condition in which posterior uveitis, serous retinal detachment, and cerebrospinal fl uid (CSF) pleocytosis are the only manifestations of VKH disease, while the Vogt-Koyanagi disease represents the form associated with bilateral iridocyclitis, vitiligo, poliosis, and auditory problems.…”
