The Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome, a disease of unknown origin, characterized by inflammation of the uveal tract, retina and meninges, was observed in a patient with Hodgkin's disease (HD) who had been treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Ten years later the patient developed a cluster of neurological symptoms and signs (fever, pain, bilateral hypoacousia, dizziness, uveitis and psychiatric disorder) which were initially interpreted as a relapse of HD. The diagnosis of VKH syndrome was thereafter suspected from the clinical findings, response to therapy and further evolution. During the follow-up (14 months) the patient showed a varying course; hypoacousia remained unaltered while uveitis recurred and only a partial improvement was obtained by immunosuppressive therapy.
