Sumario: | Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is a chronic, bilateral, granulomatous panuveitis associated with cutaneous, neurologic, and auditory manifestations. We report a 4-year-old Saudi boy who developed severe ocular complications by 5 years of age. He presented to King Khalid Eye Specialist Hospital at the age of 4 years and was previously operated on elsewhere for cataract with intraocular lens implantation in his right eye at the age of 3 years. He consecutively had iris capture and membrane formation around the intraocular lens. Examination revealed band keratopathy, posterior synechiae, and fundus depigmentation in both eyes with cataract formation in his left eye. At the age of 5.5 years, he developed subretinal neovascular membrane formation in the left eye. To the best of our knowledge, this patient is youngest VKH case that manifested most of the major complications at a young age as 5 years old. |
