Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome in an 11-year-old Boy.
An 11-year-old boy complained of headache, slight fever and decreased visual acuity. Intracameral cells and serous retinal detachment were found in both eyes. Pleocytosis was seen in the cerebrospinal fluid. Bilateral uveitis diminished rapidly in response to corticosteroid treatment. Depigmentation of the fundi developed several months later. We believe that Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome in a child, as demonstrated in our patient, may be uncommon.
