Neurological findings, including headache, vertigo and cranial palsies, have been attributed to the aseptic meningitis-like syndrome.1 Though brain parenchymal lesions have been reported in VKH disease, focal neurological signs that indicate a spinal cord lesion are extremely rare.2 Here, we present a case of a 16-year-old girl with VKH disease who presented with weakness of lower limbs and dysuria. MRI studies revealed a longitudinal lesion in the spinal cord. These constitute the first reported case of a VKH patient with an isolated spinal cord lesion.A 16-year-old Chinese girl with VKH disease presented to the Beijing Neurology Consultation Center because of weakness of lower extremities and dysuria for 6 months. Two and a half years ago, she was diagnosed as having incomplete VKH disease in the largest ophthalmology centre in China, based on bilateral non-traumatic granulomatous iridocyclitis, retinal oedema and exudates, tinnitus and hearing loss.3 She was treated with oral prednisone (45 mg/day), and her visual impairment improved significantly.
