Description
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is a rare disorder that affects several body systems. Here we take a broad look at the presentation and pathophysiology of VKH, with a more specific focus on the relevant eye findings. Since much is not known about VKH, we explore the current standards for diagnosis, demonstrate the hypothesized pathogenesis of disease, and discuss complications, current treatment options, and outcomes.
