Ultrasonographic Study of the Orbit As an Early Diagnostic Tool in Vogt Koyanagi Harada Disease (VKH): A Case Report

In recent years, ultrasound has demonstrated its usefulness in the approach to vascular structures and other tissues such as the orbit, facilitating the early diagnosis of various diseases without having to rely on other more invasive or less available tests. In Vogt Koyanagi Harada syndrome, characterised by bilateral acute uveitis, ocular ultrasound is a clear example of the usefulness of ultrasonography in early diagnosis, facilitating the initiation of specific treatment to change the ominous natural history of this disease. This case shows the usefulness of the echography to make the differential diagnosis with other diseases that clinical onset could be similar than VKH, but with a different diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
