Description Vogt Koyanagi Harada syndrome (VKH syndrome) is a rare disease predominantly affecting women with an incidence of 1 to 6 per million in the US. The diagnosis is made clinically, however fluorescein angiography (FA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are used to support the diagnosis. Brain MRI is not a common imaging modality, however in the absence of FA and OCT, it can be helpful in the diagnosis.
