Vogt-Koyanagi Harada Syndrome: A Case Report

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by bilateral eye inflammation, which can also affect the skin and nervous system. This case report describes a 49-year-old female patient who presented with blurred vision in both eyes, accompanied by poliosis and unremarkable systemic health history. Initial examination revealed significantly reduced uncorrected visual acuity, and imaging techniques including optical coherence tomography (OCT) identified optic disc edema, sub retinal fluid, and choroidal folds in both eyes. Based on the findings, the patient was diagnosed with VKH syndrome and treated with corticosteroids, resulting in complete resolution after one month. This case highlights the importance of recognizing VKH syndrome, especially in patients presenting with atypical symptoms such as poliosis, to facilitate early diagnosis and intervention. Advanced imaging plays a crucial role in differentiating VKH from other conditions, ensuring effective management and monitoring to prevent potential relapse.
