Age of onset in patients with VKH syndrome varied from 8 to 76 (average age 36). Male were 835, and female were 736. Patients whose binoculus involved in VKH syndrome at the same time or in succession were 1 585 and monocular incidence was in 4 cases. Headache was noted in 67% of these patients. Tinnitus and alopecia were noted in 39% and 33%. Before the treatment, patients of visual acuity <0.2 were found to be 50%, and few was close to normal. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) is the most important examination, its main performance were mottled hyperfluorescence, optic disc dyeing and cystic fluorescein reservoir. Corticosteroid were used in all cases. Some cases added immune agents. After treat-ment. Visual acuity S= 0. 6 were found in 76%, and (greater-than or equal to) 0.1 were more than 50%. Relapse incidence (RI) of systemic therapy was lower. Cataract and glaucoma were the main complications, and incidence rate was nearly 20% and 9%. LA: Chinese
