title: Choroidal folds in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze choroidal folds in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease by fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective, consecutive case series.
  
  
  METHODS
  Records of 95 patients diagnosed with VKH disease from October 2001 to July 2006 were reviewed. All patients underwent FA, 17 patients underwent ICGA, and 20 underwent OCT.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of the 95 patients, 11 (12.0%) had choroidal folds and showed 10 to 15 hypofluorescent bands radiating from the optic disk that were similar to the large retinal vessels in shape and number on FA. On ICGA, the choroidal folds showed hyperfluorescence at the late stage. OCT showed clear folds but the number of folds was larger than on FA and ICGA.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Choroidal folds are not uncommon in VKH disease. FA, ICGA, and OCT can help to identify their pathogenesis.
