| Abstract;Purpose: To report a patient with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease who developed neovascularization at the optic disc. Case: A 19-year-old woman visited our hospital two months after becoming aware of fever, head-ache, tinnitus, hearing disturbance, and floaters in the right eye. Ophthalmic examination disclosed granulomatous inflammation in the anterior segment, sunset glow fundus and neovascularization at the optic disc. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease was diagnosed and treated with corticosteroid pulse therapy, followed by oral corticosteroids. Three months after the systemic corticosteroid therapy, the neovascularization disappeared. Conclusions: Sufficient treatment with systemic corticosteroids is effective for the intraocular neovascularization associated with consecutive inflammation. (author abst.) |
