Abstract

Patients with active VKH disease have markedly thickened choroids, possibly related not only to inflammatory infiltration but also to increased exudation. Both the choroidal thickness and the exudative retinal detachment decreased quickly with corticosteroid treatment. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography can be used to evaluate the choroidal involvement in VKH disease in the acute stages and may prove useful in the diagnosis and management of this disease noninvasively.
