ANALYSIS OF EARLY CHANGES IN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY AND OCULAR MANIFESTATIONS OF VOGT-KOYANAGI-HARADA DISEASE (CLINICAL CASES)

The difficulty of diagnosing Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome is due to the fact that in the prodromal stage, the inflammatory process develops in the vascular membrane without ocular manifestations, clinically, flu-like syndrome, meningism come out in the first place, mistakenly leading the patient to a doctor of another specialty.Objective: To analyze optical coherence tomography (OCT) data and clinical manifestations for early diagnosis and timely treatment of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.Methods: Data from two clinical cases are presented: patient T. with timely pathogenetic pulse therapy and patient B. with alternative treatment due to his refusal of the proposed therapy. Results: Against the background of treatment, both patients have an increase in visual acuity, but patient B. has a less favorable prognosis according to OCT data due to the lack of adequate therapy.Conclusion: OCT of the macular region makes it possible to make the correct diagnosis at an early date, which prevents the transition of the uveitic stage of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease into a chronic one.
