Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome Cover

Abstract

The Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is a rare, chronic bilateral, granulomatous panuveitis with extraocular manifestations in the central nervous system, auditory system, and integumentary system. Ophthalmologists, rather than dermatologists, report most of the patients with VKH syndrome. Alopecia, poliosis, and vitiligo are common manifestations of this syndrome. We report a case of 75 year old man with VKH syndrome, who developed bilateral deafness, tinnitus, alopecia, poliosis, and vitiligo following an episode of bilateral panuveitis.
