Purpose: To provide an overview of pediatric pars planitis.

Methods: Narrative literature review.

Results: Pars planitis refers to the idiopathic subset of intermediate uveitis in which there is vitritis along with snowball or snowbank formation occurring in the absence of an associated infection or systemic disease.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine predictive factors for low final visual acuity in patients with inactive Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease using Swept-source OCT and OCT-angiography (OCT-A).

Methods: We conducted a prospective longitudinal study, including 21 patients (42 eyes), who were followed up for the first 24 months after disease onset. Patients were included at the acute phase and subsequently treated.

An 18-year-old female patient was referred with complaints of tearing and redness in the left eye for 3 months after a mild ocular trauma with a turkey feather. She was treated with topical antibiotics and corticosteroids with no improvement. Slit-lamp examination of the left eye showed a vascularized lesion with a polypoidal appearance due to multiple contiguous micronodules on the temporal and inferior bulbar conjunctiva.
