Abstract
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome is a rare systemic granulomatous autoimmune condition that affects melanocyte-rich organs including the eyes, inner ears, meninges, skin, and hair. We report 3 cases diagnosed with VKH syndrome, who presented with completely different backgrounds. 1st case was a 34M who presented with a 3 months history of DOV with headache and tinnitus. 2nd case was a 21F presented with a 1 day history of sudden DOV associated with headache on day 2 after undergoing emergency LSCS. 3rd patient was a 30F who was a case of SLE associated type 4 lupus nephritis. She presented with a 2 day history of DOV associated with headache and tinnitus. She had an active herpes zoster infection involving the trunk at time of presentation. All the patients had choroiditis with exudative retinal detachment confirmed on OCT suggestive of VKH syndrome. This case series throws light on variable etiology and multisystem involvement of VKH syndrome and management criteria.
