Abstract:
Susac syndrome (SS) is rare microangiopathy of unclear etiology involving arteries of the brain, cochlea, and retina, affecting mainly middle-aged women. The diagnosis of Susac syndrome is based on a clinical evaluation of the signs and symptoms supported by imaging modalities. Immunosuppressants are the first-line treatment. Our patient is a 46-year-old man who was evaluated for right-sided visual loss and bilateral hearing loss. His ophthalmic examination revealed retinal artery occlusion. He showed a good response to rituximab and his vision remained stable. Our case is particularly unique as it shows an incomplete Susac syndrome involving the cochlea and retina only. This paper aims to increase awareness about the disease's symptoms, treatment, and prognosis.
