Rheumatol Int. 2001 Aug;20(6):246-9. doi: 10.1007/s002960100123.

Abstract

We present a case of Cogan's syndrome in childhood presenting with arthralgia, myalgia, anorexia, uveitis, aortic regurgitation, and intermittent fever and who responded well to corticosteroid therapy and successful valvular replacement. The extensive diagnostic methods and a review of the literature are covered and intended to familiarize pediatricians with this rare but treatable disorder.
