Abstract
Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease (VKHD) is a systemic autoimmune disease that targets melanocyte-rich tissues such as eye, central nervous system, inner ear, and skin. Here, we report a case of VKHD accompanied by polyneuropathy. After VKHD was diagnosed, depending on the involvement of bilateral ocular, auditory, and central nervous systems, he expressed muscle weakness, pain, and numbness in bilateral lower extremities. Nerve conduction studies suggested sensorimotor polyneuropathy, while a skin, muscle, and nerve biopsy suggested vasculitis. Steroid therapy improved his symptoms. The present case might suggest a relationship between VKHD and polyneuropathy.
