Abstract

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is a multisystemic disease characterized by granulomatous panuveitis with exsudative retinal detachment and often associated with neurological and skin symptomatology. In the paper is presented a rare case of probably VHK syndrome in 11-year old caucasian race boy in which was found the bilateral granulomatous panuveitis with exsudative retinal detachment without other systemic symptomatology with typical clinical characteristics and course. Systemic corticosteroid therapy in a patient gradually improved the state, which was then complicated by the occurrence of juxtapapillary subretinal neovascular membrane on both eyes. The following administration of intravitreal injection anti-VEGF (bevacizumab) was modified visual acuity and reduced neovascular membrane. Key words: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, children, juxtapapillary choroidal neovascular membrane, anti-VEGF, bevacizumab.
