Abstract:
To clarify the nature of serous retinal detachment in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome, 42 consecutive eyes of 21 patients with acute phase VKH syndrome were examined using optical coherence tomography (OCT). OCT revealed two patterns of serous retinal detachment. Twenty-nine eyes (69%) had a true retinal detachment, 17 eyes (40%) had intraretinal fluid accumulation in the outer retina, and 4 eyes had both. Intraretinal fluid accumulation appeared as an oval space in the outer retina. On fluorescein angiography, the eyes with intraretinal fluid accumulation showed more severe dye leakage from the retinal pigment epithelium.
