Abstract

We report an eight year old boy who showed manifestations of VHK syndrome.He first visited the OPD five months back with history of fever followed by redness and diminution of vision in both eyes.Bilateral anterior and posterior uveitis with serous retinal detachment and disc edema were observed in both eyes.No systemic disease was observed.Oral prednisolone was given as treatment and after 15 days uveitis and serous detachment resolved.Steroids were slowly tapered.After two months he had a relapse of uveitis with signs of granulomatous type and one month later developed vitiligo on trunk and a diagnosis of incomplete VKH syndrome was made.The patient on corticosteroid treatment showed improvement.In a child it is important to properly investigate for the cause and treatment is also challenging.
