Purpose: To report a case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease presenting mutton fat like subretinal precipitates.
Design: Observational case report.
Methods: A 52-year-old Japanese woman developed bilateral uvetis with serous retinal detachment and mutton fat like subretinal precipitates.
Results: According to Opthalmologic, auditory, and systemic examination, we diagnosed the patient with VKH disease. Inflamation was controlled by three time steroid therapy and subretinal fluid and precipitates decreased and disappeared.
Conclusions: Subretinal granulomatous lesion may present a manifestation of VKH and mean long standing subretinal fluid and inflammation.

Purpose: To characterize the spectrum of uveitis in patients visiting three tertiary hospitals in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Methods: This study collected prospective and multicenter data from patients diagnosed with uveitis at three tertiary hospitals in Hanoi City, Vietnam, between January 2022 and January 2024. Data on age, sex, clinical and laboratory findings, and etiology were collected.
Atypical presentation of acute retinal necrosis mimicking Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease leading to misdiagnosis: a case report.

Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a serious, sight-threatening condition characterized by rapidly progressive necrotizing retinitis, most commonly caused by varicella-zoster virus and herpes simplex virus. We report an atypical case of ARN in a 57-year-old immunocompetent male, initially misdiagnosed as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. This case highlights the challenges in the early differential diagnosis of infectious and non-infectious uveitis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the patterns and outcomes of uveitis in children through a retrospective patient review.
- A total of 184 pediatric patients were examined, revealing that panuveitis was the most common type, with a significant number displaying non-granulomatous and non-infectious uveitis.
- After one year, most patients (85.4%) had improved vision, achieving at least 20/40 visual acuity, and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease was identified as the most prevalent specific diagnosis.
Automatic measurement of choroidal thickness with swept-source optical coherence tomography in chronic Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease: 3 years' follow-up.

Purpose: The course of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is typically assessed qualitatively using indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). However, a quantitative approach could improve accuracy and objectivity. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical value of the automated measurement capabilities of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) to measure choroidal thickness (quantitative approach) in chronic VKH.

Purpose: This study examined six patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease using retromode infrared scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (RMI-SLO).
Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective review of the medical records of six patients diagnosed with VKH disease. The RMI-SLO images were compared to those obtained using color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and dye-based retinal angiography.
