Abstract

The clinicopathologic findings of this patient were typical for Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome. Clinically, the patient had sudden onset of blindness, pleocytosis, and temporary hearing loss, with no history of eye trauma or surgery. Histopathologically, the choroid and iris showed chronic inflammation, loss of choroidal melanocytes, and dense chorioretinal adhesions. Presence of HLA-DRB1*0405 was consistent with the chronic phase of this syndrome.
