Abstract

Harada's disease is well known as uveoencephalitis in Europe and America.We examined a 26-year-old female who complained of a floating sensation following the sudden onset of uveitis. A diagnosis of Harada's disease was made, and she was treated with steroid.Electronystagmography showed abnormal eye movements which were suggestive of flutter-like oscillations, square wave jerks, and opsoclonus. These abnormal eye movements are observed rarely, mainly in patients with a lesion in the cerebellum and brainstem. The results of vestibular function tests suggest that the lesion of Harada's disease is located not only in peripheral vestibular organs but also in the central nervous system.
