Article Synopsis
- Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome (VKH) is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes severe inflammation in multiple systems, primarily affecting the eyes and leading to symptoms like visual loss and skin changes.
- A 20-year-old male patient experienced rapid vision loss due to granulomatous panuveitis and was treated for complications like cataracts and glaucoma, but only later showed signs of vitiligo and poliosis that confirmed VKH.
- This case emphasizes that VKH can present atypically with glaucoma as the first symptom, highlighting the need for early diagnosis to prevent significant vision loss.
A 71-year-old, one-eyed female patient presented with a loss of vision in the right eye due to trauma 20 years ago and a progressive diminution of vision in the left eye over the past six years. An ambiguous history of some surgery performed on the left eye was elicited, with no available records, adding an element of uncertainty to this case. Visual acuity (VA) was noted as no light perception (No PL) in the right eye and light perception with accurate projection of rays (PL+, PR accurate) in the left eye.
