ABSTRACT
Purpose: To report a unique case of choroidal detachment following an intravitreal injection in a patient with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease.
Methods: A 33-year-old male, a known case of chronic VKH disease for 9 years developed an inflammatory choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) in the right eye. Following an intravitreal ranibizumab injection, he reported loss of vision 2 days later. Clinical examination revealed hypotony with annular serous choroidal detachment.
Results: Following an intensive systemic corticosteroid therapy, there was a complete resolution of choroidal detachment and restoration of visual acuity at 1 week of follow up. The subretinal fluid and cystic spaces due toCNVM also resolved completely.
Conclusion: This is the first report of a patient with VKH disease developing choroidal detachment following an uncomplicated intravitreal injection of ranibizumab for an inflammatory CNVM.
