    Journal: Retin Cases Brief Rep; 2016; 10(2):160-4. PubMed ID: 26444520.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To determine whether the choroidal folds in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease can be detected by retromode of a scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) with infrared laser light source. METHODS: The authors examined two patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease at the acute stage by retromode imaging scanning laser ophthalmoscopy with an infrared laser before and after steroid treatment. RESULTS: The retromode imaging by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy clearly and noninvasively delineated the choroidal folds in both cases. The folds disappeared after steroid treatment and reappeared with recurrences of uveitis. CONCLUSION: The retromode imaging by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy can detect the choroidal folds and should be useful for detecting and monitoring the choroidal folds in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease.
