Stage 1 macular hole as a complication of laser iridotomy.

چکیده
typically found in darkly pigmented women aged 30 to 39 years. It can also be associated with systemic features including meningismus, hearing changes, and skin manifestations. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a patient with hemophagocytic syndrome with features resembling ocular Vogt-KoyanagiHarada disease. It is possible that the hyperinflammatory state of hemophagocytic syndrome causes a uveal inflammatory reaction with histiocytic infiltration resulting in ocular features similar to ocular VogtKoyanagi-Harada disease. An alternative explanation would be that the patient had 2 separate disease processes, although this would seem to be less likely. In summary, we describe another possible ophthalmic manifestation of hemophagocytic syndrome. This can be added to the previously described abnormalities resembling leukemic retinopathy and acute multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy.
