PubMed ID: 34254501. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome is rare in childhood and is usually seen between the 2nd and 5th decades. We present a 15-year-old girl with findings of incomplete Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome. CASE: In the first visit, anterior chamber inflammation, vitritis, serous retinal detachment and papillitis were observed in her both eyes. She also had neurological symptoms such as a headache. During the systemic treatment period, some of the side effects related to steroids emerged. Additionally, the symptoms and findings of the disease relapsed while the steroid dose was reduced. CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis and selection of an individualized appropriate treatment provided good clinical and visual results without any serious complications in our case.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
