  • Report of Four Cases of Disease Vogt - Koyanagi - Harada

    Co-Authors: González, César A.
    Abstract:

    Se reportan tres casos de la enfermedad de Harada y un caso del síndrome de Vogt-Koyanagi. Todos estos casos exhiben las características de esta entidad. Todos los casos fueron tratados con Cortisona sistémica y tópica, la cual parece ser de utilidad. Excelentes resultados (recuperación de la visión central y periférica), fueron obtenidos en los pacientes presentados. La única complicación en lo referente a la terapia fué un episodio agudo de psicosis en el paciente N° 3 que sobrevino luego de intensa administración de Cortisona; ésta desapareció completamente 3 semanas después de disminución gradual de la droga. Ha sido reportado que la enfermedad de Harada y el sindrome de Vogt-Koyanagi se presentan en pacientes de alta pigmentación. Es interesante anotar que 2 de los cuatro casos presentados eran en personas blancas. La revisión de la literatura revela que la enfermedad es esporádica, sin aparente relación con las estaciones o con el área geográfica. Se sugiere un nuevo término que tipifique la evolución clínica: Sindrome encefalo-uveo-dermatosis.Three cases of Harada's disease and one case of Vogt- Koyanagi Syndrome are reported. All these cases exhibit the characteristics of this entity. All cases were treated with systemic and topical cortisone , which seems to be useful . Excellent results (recovery of central and peripheral vision) , were obtained in these patients. The only complication with regard to therapy was an acute episode of psychosis in patient No. 3 which came after acute administration of cortisone ; it disappeared completely 3 weeks after drug taper . It has been reported that Harada 's disease and Vogt- Koyanagi Syndrome occur in patients highly pigmented . It is interesting to note that two of the four cases were presented in white people . The literature review shows that the disease is sporadic , with no apparent relation to the seasons or geographic area.
