Abstract
- The Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome is an uncommon disorder characterized by uveitis and neurologic and cutaneous abnormalities including tinnitus, vertigo, headache, meningoencephalitis, vitiligo, alopecia, and poliosis. Although the cause of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome remains unknown, it is believed to be the result of autoimmune mechanisms directed against the melanocytes in genetically susceptible individuals. The Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome has been reported to occur in association with other autoimmune disorders. We report a case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome associated with psoriasis vulgaris.
