Susac's Syndrome: A Case Presentation and Radiological Approach to this Rare Autoimmune Endotheliopathy

Medicina (Kaunas). 2013;49(1):15-7.

Abstract

Susac's syndrome is an uncommon neurologic disorder, consisting of the clinical triad of encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusions, and hearing loss. We report a case of a sudden vision and hearing impairment in a 35-year-old female patient. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed multiple lesions in the white matter and the corpus callosum, typical of Susac's syndrome.
