A case of unilateral focal choroidal excavation in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease; case report
This case highlights the rare occurrence of FCE during the course of VKH disease, suggesting that inflammatory disruption of the RPE and choroidal atrophy may contribute to FCE formation. Comprehensive retinal imaging in VKH patients is essential for detecting such complications, which may influence long-term visual outcomes. This case adds to the limited literature on the relationship between ocular inflammation and choroidal excavation, providing valuable insights for future clinical management.
