AbstractVogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome is a rare disease that occurs commonly in pigmented individuals of Asian origin. A 25-year female presented in medical outpatient department (OPD) of Al-Khidmat Teaching Hospital, Mansoora, Lahore with headache and neck stiffness. She was referred to eye OPD for the complaint of decreased vision. On examination, there was 6/24 vision, sluggish pupillary reaction and disc hyperemia in both eyes. She was treated as a case of optic neuritis. Few days later, she developed bilateral panuveitis, shallow exudative detachments and alopecia. Clinical picture with normal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and laboratory tests helped us in reaching the diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.
