A 42-year-old female presented with unilateral visual loss associated with systemic symptoms of fever and headache. Although initial ophthalmic examination revealed a unilateral neuroretinitis, investigation for infectious and non-infectious causes of neuroretinitis were negative. At our examination, retinal imaging (suggestive of bilateral involvement) along with the results of lumbar puncture (pleocytosis) and clinical findings was consistent with a diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. The patient was treated with intravenous steroids with prompt resolution of her symptoms. Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease may present atypically and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neuroretinitis.
