Abstract:
A 32-year-old Norwegian woman was admitted to the University department of Ophthalmology with marked subretinal oedema in both eyes and slight flare in the anterior chambers. Vision was reduced to counting fingers at 1 m o.d. and 6/24 o.s. Lumbal puncture revealed pleocytosis, and antimyelin antibodies were found in the serum confirming and strengthening the clinical diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome. The patient had a history of colitis ulcerosa 7 years prior to onset of ocular disease. The concurrence of these two diseases has not been reported previously. Treatment with corticosteroids was successful.
