Intravitreal triamcinolone in the treatment of serous retinal detachment in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To report the use of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide during the acute phase of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. DESIGN:Prospective interventional case series. METHODS:Three eyes from two patients at the acute phase of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease with serous retinal detachments were treated with a 4-mg intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide. The following variables were evaluated: visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and height of the serous retinal detachment using optical coherence tomography. RESULTS:The optical coherence tomography images showed a marked decrease in the retinal detachment in the first week after the injection with subsequent return to normal retinal thickness in all eyes. CONCLUSIONS:Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide provides short-term improvement in visual acuity and serous retinal detachments associated with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. These findings should be followed by future studies to evaluate long-term effects.
