Retromode Infrared Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease.
Purpose: This study examined six patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease using retromode infrared scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (RMI-SLO).
Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective review of the medical records of six patients diagnosed with VKH disease. The RMI-SLO images were compared to those obtained using color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and dye-based retinal angiography.
Results: In the acute phase of VKH disease, RMI-SLO revealed pseudo-three-dimensional (3D) regions and wavy patterns. These observations corresponded to the areas of serous retinal detachment (sRD) and choroidal folds identified on OCT. Notably, the detection of pseudo-3D regions by RMI-SLO proved to be more effective than color fundus photography in identifying sRDs. Hyper-reflective lines inside the sRDs were observed in the RMI-SLO images and were consistent with the fibrinous membranes observed in the OCT images. The hyper-reflective choroidal vasculature in RMI-SLO images was notably absent, a finding like the fuzzy pattern of large stromal choroidal vessels observed in indocyanine green angiography images. Following steroid treatment, these abnormal findings reverted to normal.
Conclusions: RMI-SLO imaging could serve as an alternative option for both pre- and post-treatment assessments in VKH disease. Moreover, it has the potential to reduce the need for retinal angiography.
