A 40-year-old Japanese woman, formerly diagnosed as having Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH), developed a consciousness disturbance. There were nuchal rigidity and mild right facial weakness. Ophthalmological findings were compatible with VKH. Lumbar puncture revealed moderate pleocytosis. MRI showed multiple focal lesions. This case verifies parenchymatous involvement of CNS in VKH.
