Bacillary layer detachment in acute Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease: an early predictor of long-term complications in a Brazilian cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long-term complications occur in some patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKHD).This study aimed to evaluate the presence of bacillary layer detachment (BALAD) at presentation as an early predictor of long-term structural and functional outcomes in a Brazilian cohort of patients with VKHD.

Methods

Retrospective, clinic-based cohort study in Sao Paulo, Brazil, including 33 patients (66 eyes) with acute VKHD systematically followed for 12 months, since presentation. Clinical and multimodal data collected on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) were analyzed at baseline and months (M) 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12. Correlations between OCT-based structural findings and the occurrence of subretinal fibrosis (SRFib), sunset glow fundus (SGF), and nummular
