Unilateral Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease With Two Distinct Choroidal Neovascular Membranes: A Case Report

Abstract

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is a multisystem inflammatory disease that usually presents with bilateral panuveitis. Unilateral manifestations of VKH, albeit rare, have been described. Choroidal neovascularization may occur as a complication during the disease. Reactivation of uveitis may also occur during treatment. A patient with unilateral features of VKH disease presented with two distinct types of choroidal neovascular membranes and two episodes of reactivation of posterior uveitis. He underwent treatment with a combination of systemic steroids/immunosuppressive agents, intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents, and dexamethasone implants with good clinical response. Patients with VKH disease need to be diagnosed early, treated adequately with a combination of systemic and ocular medication, and followed up diligently for any complication that may arise, to optimize visual acuity.
