Abstract

VKH syndrome is a symptom complex having prodromal systemic manifestations, bilateral uveites and exudative retinal detachment. It has not been known clearly whether it is relelated to DM or not. We experienced a 43-year old man complaining of acutely decreased visual acuity in both eyes with bilateral choroidal detachment. He has been diabetic for 5 years in uncontrolled state. He was diagnosed to have VKH syndrome and was treated with local steroid injection with visual improvement. So we present this case with review of literatures.

Key Words: Choroidal detachment;DM;VKH syndrome
