Abstract

Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings of a case with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome (VKH) have been presented. Healing process, the detailed SD-OCT and fundus fluorescein angiography findings of a 44 years old male patient with VKH in acute uveitis attack period are discussed. In fundus examination, a serous elevation of the macula, swelling of the papilla and multiple retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED) were seen in the right eye. After the OCT test, PED was found to be in the left eye. Subretinal septas separating the subretinal space into the various sections were observed in OCT view in the right eye. Subretinal septas were completely resorbed after steroid therapy. In OCT, subretinal septas can be seen in patients with VKH. Due to resorption of subretinal septas with steroid, these changes can be considered to have inflammatory origin

Özet

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Sendromlu (VKH) bir olguda spektral domain optik koherens tomografi (SD-OKT) bulgularının sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Kırıkdört yaşında, akut üveitik atak dönemindeki VKH'lı bir erkek olgunun, iyileşme süreci, detaylı SD-OKT ve fluorescein fundus anjiyografi bulguları ile anlatılmıştır. Fundus muayenesinde sağ gözde makülada seröz elevasyon, papillada kabarıklık ve retinada multipl retina pigment epitel dekolmanı (PED) olduğu izlendi. Yapılan OKT testinden sonra sol gözde de PED olduğu izlendi. OKT'de sağ gözde subretinal boşluğu çeşitli bölümlere ayıran subretinal septalar izlendi. Steroid tedavisinden sonra subretinal septalar tümüyle resorbe oldu. VKH hastalarında OKT'de subretinal septalar görülebilir. Subretinal septaların steroidle resorbe olması nedeniyle, bu değişikliklerin inflamatuar kökenli olabileceği düşünülebilir
