© 2024 The Authors. Clinical Case Reports published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

Key Clinical Message: Systemic prednisolone including steroid pulse therapy would be safe in 32 pregnant women, who developed Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease in the literature. Prednisolone administration would be shortened by monitoring of serous retinal detachment with optical coherence tomography.

Abstract: A 30-year-old woman in 31 weeks of pregnancy with metamorphopsia and headache was diagnosed Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. She underwent steroid pulse therapy and oral prednisolone 20 mg daily for 3 weeks until complete resolution of serous retinal detachment monitored by optical coherence tomography. Oral prednisolone was tapered and discontinued until uneventful delivery.
