A 51-year-old Italian woman developed migraine-like headaches with increasing frequency 5 years after menopause. The simultaneous onset of severe bilateral uveitis, neurological signs such as vertigo, hearing loss, small sensomotor hemisyndrome, cognitive brain dysfunction and lymphocyte liquor pleocytosis confirmed the diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, a rare disease of probably autoimmune origin with destruction of pigment containing neuroepithelium. Other vasculitic diseases, especially those of infectious or rheumatologic origin, were excluded. Systemic corticoid treatment suppressed the activity of the illness but on dose reduction relapses occurred. Additional immunosuppressive medication prevented uveitic relapses and made it possible to reduce the corticoid dose.
