Eighteen patients were bilateral. All patients had complete ocular examinations including visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). Results Inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber and corneal endothelium were present in 42 eyes. Thirty eyes showed congestion and swelling of optic discs. Yellowwhite lesions in the posterior pole were present in 18 eyes. No change in 6 eyes. FFA showed staining or hyperfluorescence of optic disc in 32 eyes, venous leakage in 34 eyes, and cystoid macular edema in 15 eyes.ICGA showed squamous or disseminative hypofluorescence damages in 26 eyes.
