Editor,—Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is an uncommon disorder characterised by panuveitis in association with neurological and cutaneous abnormalities including headache, tinnitus, vitiligo, poliosis, and alopecia. VKH syndrome almost always affects more heavily pigmented individuals, and is seen in women more than twice as often as men, typically in the third and fourth decades of life.
