  • VKH Pseudotumor – Chronic Subretinal Fibrosis

    May 11 2025 by Felipe Murati

    Ultra-widefield fundus image from a 36-year-old woman with chronic VKH syndrome showing a pseudotumor-like subretinal fibrotic lesion in the right eye. The lesion developed after multiple relapses and remained stable over a 1-year follow-up with immunosuppressive treatment including prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil, and adalimumab. No active choroiditis or exudative detachment was observed. Multimodal imaging was essential for disease monitoring.

  • Optic Disc Granuloma

    May 7 2025 by Aayesha - Khanum, MBBS. D.N.B

    A 45-year-old male presented with diminished vision for one month. His Mantoux test was negative, but as steroids worsened the condition, quantiferon TB was advised and it returned positive. He was started on anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT). Oral steroids were reintroduced after one week of ATT. Optic disc granulomas can arise from direct invasion of the optic nerve or may represent hypersensitivity reaction to tuberculous antigens. The pathogenesis involves infiltration of immune cells, leading to formation of a granulomatous structure that disrupts normal architecture and function of the optic disc. Steroids with ATT facilitated regression of granulomatous lesion.

  • Ocular Tuberculosis

    May 18 2020 by McGill University Health Centre

    Ocular tuberculosis refers to necrotizing granulomatous uveitis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. The mechanism of infection of ocular structures is via hematogenous dissemination of the bacteria during the primary infection. In this enucleation specimen, the anterior chamber and vitreous cavity are filled by caseous exudate. The iris is also replaced by a whitish material, and the retina is completely detached. Note the whitish thickening of the posterior choroid (arrow).

  • Vogt-Koyanagu-Harada (VKH) Disease

    May 18 2020 by McGill University Health Centre

    VKH disease is an autoimmune condition that causes bilateral chronic granulomatous panuveitis, and extraocular manifestations in the central nervous system, auditory system, and integument. VKH disease is twice as prevalent in women than men, and is believed to be associated with specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types, suggesting a possible hereditary component. The exact cause of VKH disease, however, remains unclear. Image (B) shows several aggregate RPE cells and histiocytes, called Dalen–Fuchs nodules (arrows)
