[Vogt Koyanagi Harada syndrome].
METHODS
Case 1. A female patient with visual loss and migraine who was found to have an exudative, bilateral retinal detachment. Steroid therapy was commenced initially and then cyclosporin-A added. Nine months later, her vision was 10/10 in the right eye and 9/10 in the left eye. Case 2. A female patient with unclear vision who was found to have an exudative, bilateral retinal detachment. Systemic steroid therapy was given and ultimately her vision was 9/10 in the right eye and 8/10 in the left eye.


CONCLUSIONS
Vogt Koyanagi Harada syndrome is a bilateral granulomatous panuveitis associated with neurologic and dermatologic disorders. When a patient has exudative multifocal and bilateral retinal detachment and systemic symptomatology, the possibility of this disease needs to be suspected. Good visual prognosis is possible if early treatment is given.
