Introduction:
Alfred Vogt in 1906 followed by Koynagi in 1911 and then Harada in 1923
published cases with description of VKHD. Harada described the posterior
disease as acute posterior choroiditis.1 It is a
multisystem autoimmune disorder that affects melanocyte-containing
organs such as the eye, central nervous system, skin and auditory
system.2 Age group is between 20 to 50 years, but it
may occur in children and in old age.3,4
In the acute VKHD there are prodromal symptoms such as headache,
tinnitus or vertigo followed by non- granulomatous inflammation
involving the whole uveal tract causing sudden visual deterioration.
Bilateral multiple serous retinal detachment (SRD) with variable
severity developed.5
VKHD is associated with various skin findings in convalescent stage such
as vitiligo of eyebrows, eyelashes and skin. Alopecia of scalp hair may
occur temporarily.6
Israelsen NM et al, a dermatologist by using ultrahigh resolution
optical coherence tomography (OCT) detected vellus hairs on glabrous
area of palm which were comparable with vellus hairs on
cheek.7 This study provides the basis to report the
finding which we observed in our patient.
