Abstract
Purpose: To report a young patient who initially manifested with bilateral anterior nodular scleritis and subsequently developed ocular features typical of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease.
Case description: A 9-year-old girl was diagnosed with bilateral anterior nodular scleritis, which improved with topical administration of corticosteroids and systemic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Four months later, after the treatment was withdrawn, she developed a recurrence of scleritis together with sunset glow fundus and Dalen-Fuchs nodules in both eyes.
Conclusions: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease might be associated with anterior nodular scleritis.
