Patients with VKH can have good final outcomes if treated promptly with immunosuppressive agents and thus avoid complications. The purpose of this article is to report the evolution of the acute uveitis phase of VKH. Case Report: We report a case of a 58 years old women who presented to ophthalmology emergency room with a 10-day history of a severe headache and progressive low visual acuity in the left eye (LE). After seven days she developed low visual acuity (VA) in other eye and important tinnitus in her left ear. Ophthalmological examination showed best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/200 in both eyes; direct and consensual motor reflexes decreased bilaterally; anterior chamber reaction with 2+ cells in both eyes.

To correlate optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements with clinical parameters in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 22 patients with IIH and 11 controls. All participants underwent comprehensive ophthalmological examination followed by spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) and standard automated perimetry using the 30–2 program of the Humphrey visual field analyzer. Correlations between ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, as measured by SD-OCT, and clinical parameters were assessed using generalized estimating equations. Result. The mean age of the participants was 35.0 ± 10.83 years. The groups were similar regarding age, but were significantly different regarding sex and visual acuity ( p = 0.001 and p = 0.038 , respectively). The GCC was significantly thinner in the IIH group, with a mean of 90.535 ± 9.766 μm compared to 98.119 ± 6.988 μm for the controls ( p = 0...
