Popis: A 34-year-old woman in whom multiple sclerosis (MS) had been diagnosed 2 years earlier developed progressive bilateral visual loss associated with peripapillary exudative retinal detachment and other features of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome. She was treated with corticosteroid pulses and interferon (3-1A with visual acuity improvement and resolution of the retinal detachment. This is the first reported case of VKH syndrome in a patient with MS. The combination of VKH syndrome and MS suggests a common autoimmune pathogenesis. {J Neuro-Ophthalmol 2007;27:36-40)
