Abstract
A successful surgical treatment (vitrectomy) for bilateral bullous retinal detachment in a patient with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is reported. A 78-year-old woman had severe reduction of visual acuity in both eyes because of an extremely bullous nonrhegmatogenous retinal detachment accompanied by VKH disease. We performed lens extraction and vitrectomy on both eyes combined with systemic and topical corticosteroid therapy. The retina was reattached immediately after the surgery and her visual acuity promptly improved in both eyes. She had no recurrence of retinal detachment even after tapering the dose of corticosteroid. We suggest that vitrectomy may be an effective therapeutic option in the treatment for severe bullous retinal detachment associated with VKH disease.
