Abstract
We studied a case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome with transient shallow anterior chamber and increased intraocular pressure as initial manifestations. We examined the patient using ultrasound biomicroscopy and speculated on the mechanisms of increased intraocular pressure. Ultrasound biomicroscopic examinations revealed the swollen ciliary body with anterior rotation and supraciliary space at the time of increased intraocular pressure. We confirmed that the swollen ciliary body with anterior rotation and supraciliary space caused transient angle-closure glaucoma in this patient with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.
