PRESUMED UNILATERAL VOGT-KOYANAGI-HARADA DISEASE-CASE REPORT OF A RARE CLINICAL ENTITY.

PRANAYEE BEHERA

Abstract


In this retrospective report, we present a case of unilateral Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. This patient was evaluated with clinical, ophthalmological and laboratory             examinations. The response following corticosteroid               administration was evaluated. She had the characteristic clinical features of VKH involving only one eye, including disc edema, multiple sub retinal yellow lesions and exudative  retinal detachment. This case indicates that the clinical and angiographic features were typical of VKH disease despite the unilateral involvement. Reports of unilateral VKH are  meagre and we here report one of this rarity.
