Abstract

Introduction: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome is a cell-mediated autoimmune disease directed against melanocytes Leading to chronic multisystemic disease affecting the eye, inner ear, skin and meninges. VKH is a common disease in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, accounting for 2.5?19.4% of all uveitis cases. Case report: A 24 years old male patient presented to our ophthalmology clinic with bilateral painless loss of vision for 3 days. With signs of bilateral conjunctival hyperemia, anisocoria, anterior chamber reaction, multiple focal exudative retinal detachments bilaterally associated with fundus edema. Discussion: VKH is a syndrome diagnosed clinically. It is unlikely presents with typical finding. Laboratory evidence must be involved to identify the disease and it?s possible causes.
