MR Imaging of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome with Leptomeningeal Enhancement
AJNR 32:E169-E171, Lohman, B.D.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We described a 28-year-old man with presumed VKH syndrome, whose presenting symptoms were bilateral impaired vision and headaches. Orbital MR imaging findings included bilateral choroidal and retrobulbar contrast enhancement, while brain findings included white matter abnormalities on FLAIR and leptomeningeal enhancement. Pachymeningeal enhancement has been described previously; herein, we report a patient with VKH syndrome presenting solely with leptomeningeal enhancement. Thus, MR imaging may detect early CNS involvement by VKH disease before the onset of neurologic symptoms.
