Surgical Treatment of Subretinal Fibrosis Caused Macular Detachment in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease: A Pioneer Study.

PURPOSE: To describe surgical outcomes of macular detachment caused by subretinal fibrosis (SRF) in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH).

METHODS: Retrospective review of VKH patients who underwent SRF removal surgery.

RESULTS: Seven eyes of six VKH patients with preoperative BCVA ranging from light perception to 20/250 were included. Six eyes underwent uncomplicated SRF removal with C3F8 or silicone oil (SO) tamponade and the following optional primary or subsequent procedures: intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide, SO removal, lensectomy, or phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. All six eyes had attached macula and improved BCVA at the last visit (ranging from 20/2000 to 20/67) compared to baseline; the other eye, however, showed no light perception after surgery due to optic nerve injury.

CONCLUSIONS: In VKH patients, macular detachment caused by SRF can be treated with surgery with generally favorable outcomes. Extreme caution should be taken to avoid optic nerve injury.
