Objective To observe the clinical features of choroidal folds in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. Methods The clinical data of 112 patients with choroidal folds in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were examined by fundus color photography and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). 8 patients underwent indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and 7 patients received optical coherence tomography (OCT) meanwhile. Results Of the 112 patients, 16 patients (14.3%) had choroidal folds. on FFA, there are 10 to 15 hypofluorescenct bands radiating from the optic disk which were similar to the large retinal vessels in shape and number(choroidal fine folds). On ICGA the choroidal folds showed obvious hyperfluorescence at the late stage. On OCT the reflective bands of Bruch membrane and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) showed the wavy folds. Conclusions Choroidal folds in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease are characterized by fine folds radiating from the optic disk which is not uncommon in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. 
