Abstract

BackgroundBilateral retinal detachment and choroidal detachment in a patient are rare occurrences. The presence of bilateral diabetic retinopathy (DR) in such a case is even rarer and complicates the condition.Case presentationIn this study, we document a case of unconventional VKH. Manifestations in this patient included intense peripheral retinal detachment and choroidal detachment, along with vitreous opacities akin to cotton wool spots, concurrent with DR. The diagnosis was considered as probable VKH with DR. Treatment according to VKH protocols, including high-dose corticosteroids, yielded positive results.ConclusionsVKH can co-occurrence with DR. VKH manifestations vary, and early, aggressive, and long-term treatment is essential. The complexity of treatment increases with concurrent DR, necessitating the use of immunosuppressants.
