Zusammenfassung

Wir beschreiben den Fall einer 35-jährigen Patientin mit einer beidseitigen und rezidivierenden Panuveitis. Nach Diagnose eines Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-Syndroms wurde die Patientin mit Kortikosteroiden behandelt. Hiermit wurde rasch eine funktionelle und morphologische Besserung erreicht. Nach Rückgang der exsudativen Netzhautablösung wurden peripapillär ausstrahlende und lacksprungähnliche Linien beobachtet.

Diagnosed with Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada syndrome, the patient was treated with corticosteroids, achieving rapid improvement of functional and morphological findings. After recovery of the exudative retinal detachment, peripapillary lacquer crack-like findings were observed.
