  • Look Inside

Background : Shallow anterior chamber in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome has been claimed as due to ciliochoroidal detachment which can be identified by ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM) .

Cases : We evaluated six eyes of three cases of VKH syndrome before and after systemic pulse corticosteroid therapy using an UBM. All the 6 eyes showed normal depth of the anterior chamber throughout. All the eyes showed serous retinal detachment in the posterior fundus. Iritis was present bilaterally in one case only.

Findings : All the eyes showed ciliochoroidal detachment which could not be identified by funduscopy during the early phase of the disease. The ciliochoroidal detachment had disappeared after resolution of retinal detach-ment following corticosteroid therapy.

Conclusion : Ciliochoroidal detachment may be present in VKH syndrome even when the anterior chamber depth is normal. There is possibility that UBM may be a useful adjunct in the diagnosis and treatment of VKH syndrome.
