[Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome].

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Dermatology
• Neurology

Background:

• Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome is a multisystem inflammatory disorder.
• It is characterized by bilateral granulomatous panuveitis.
• The syndrome typically involves dermatological, neurological, and auditory findings.

Observation:

• A 42-year-old woman presented with initial ophthalmic manifestations.
• The patient later developed characteristic dermatological findings during follow-up.

Findings:

• This case illustrates a delayed presentation of dermatological symptoms in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.
• The progression from ophthalmic to dermatological findings was observed over time.

Implications:

• Highlights the importance of recognizing varied clinical presentations of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.
• Suggests that dermatological manifestations may appear later in the disease course.
• Emphasizes the need for comprehensive patient monitoring for systemic involvement.
