Abstract

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is a multisystem inflammatory disease that occurs when body tissues including melanocytes are damaged by autoimmunity. The typical symptoms of VKH are bilateral multifocal uveitis and serous retinal detachment. Our patient was misdiagnosed as idiopathic intracranial hypertension because there were no other characteristic neurological symptoms other than bilateral optic disc edema. However, intracranial pressure was normal and pleocytosis was found, so VKH disease could be diagnosed. Bilateral optic disc edema may be a initial manifestation of VKH disease.
