A CASE OF SUBRETINAL NEOVASCULAR MEMBRANE S IN VOGT-KOYANAGI-HARADA SYNDROME

A 22 year-old woman with bilateral retinal detachment in Vogt-Koyanagi -Harada syndrome was observed 9 months after the onset of symptoms wit h subretinal neovascularization in both eyes. The new vessels were loc ated in the peripapillary and extrafoveal regions; they were elevated, grey-white. The new vessels occurred in areas of pigmentary disturban ces (hyperpigmentation) and damages of the Bruch's membrane. We discus s chronic recurrent phase of inflammation, marked of predominantly ant erior chamber and fundus hyperpiomentary disturbances as risk factors associated with the development of subretinal neovascular membranes in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease.
