Abstract
We report the case of a 38-year-old woman who presented with a four-month history of bilateral red eye, photophobia, ocular pain, and headache. Ophthalmic examination revealed signs of anterior segment inflammation and atrophic lesions in the fundus of both eyes. Based on these findings and complementary diagnostic studies, a diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease was established. The patient responded well to systemic corticosteroid therapy, with a favorable visual prognosis. This case underscores the importance of early recognition of multisystemic autoimmune diseases with ocular involvement, as timely treatment is essential to preserve visual function.
