ULTRASOUND BIOMICROSCOPIC FINDINGS OF ACUTE ANGLE-CLOSURE GLAUCOMA INVOGT-KOYANAGI-HARADA SYNDROME

PURPOSE: We studied a case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome with trans ient shallow anterior chamber and increased intraocular pressure as in itial manifestations. METHODS: We examined the patient using ultrasoun d biomicroscopy and speculated on the mechanisms of increased intraocu lar pressure. RESULTS: Ultrasound biomicroscopic examinations revealed the swollen ciliary body with anterior rotation and supraciliary spac e at the time of increased intraocular pressure. CONCLUSIONS: We confi rmed that the swollen ciliary body with anterior rotation and supracil iary space caused transient angle-closure glaucoma in this patient wit h Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.
