Abstract:
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is an uncommon multisystem autoimmune disease affecting the melanocytes located in the uvea, inner ear, skin, hair, and meninges. The syndrome is frequently reported by ophthalmologists since the most consistent finding is uveitis. Hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo are the symptoms of VKH syndrome. The authors report one case of VKH syndrome with hearing loss and vertigo with related literature.
