Table 1. Characteristics of the study patients
The age of the patients ranged from 15 to 80 years (51.9±13.7, mean±SD). The study group included 65 men (47.8%) and 71 women (52.2%). Based on the diagnostic criteria for VKH disease, 30 patients (22.1%) were classified as having complete VKH disease, 89 (65.4%) as having incomplete VKH disease, and 17 (12.5%) as having probable VKH disease. Diffuse choroiditis/staining of fluorescein on angiography was observed in all VKH patients. Sunset glow fundus and nummular chorioretinal depigmented scars were observed in 83.9% and 36.1% of the patients, respectively. Neurological and auditory disorders were observed in 90.1% of the patients: meningismus (e.g., headache and fever), 79.8%; tinnitus, 53.0%; and cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis, 70.0%. Dermatologic manifestations were observed in 22.9% of the patients: alopecia (6.9%), poliosis (17.6%), and vitiligo (13.0%). n/N represents the number of patients with the characteristics/number of patients with available information. SD represents standard deviation; yo represents years old.
