Ultrasound biomicroscopic findings of acute angle-closure glaucoma in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome

Abstract

Purpose: We studied a case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome with transient shallow anterior chamber and increased intraocular pressure as initial manifestations.

Methods: We examined the patient using ultrasound biomicroscopy and speculated on the mechanisms of increased intraocular pressure.

Results: Ultrasound biomicroscopic examinations revealed the swollen ciliary body with anterior rotation and supraciliary space at the time of increased intraocular pressure.

Conclusions: We confirmed that the swollen ciliary body with anterior rotation and supraciliary space caused transient angle-closure glaucoma in this patient with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.
