Abstract
Vitiligo is a chronic auto-immune skin disease, often associated or discovers other autoimmune pathologies. His association with Ophthalmological type pan uveitis and/or neurological type of meningitis and/or inner ear type of hearing loss determines the disease or Vogt -Koyanagi-Harada syndrome (VKH). We related the case of a young woman who consulted for recurrent uveitis for a year, and it was only with the onset of vitiligo lesions that VKH disease diagnosis was discussed and confirmed.Entities:
