Abstract
A 17-year-old girl with Cogan's syndrome is described. Total and irrev ersible hearing loss occurred which was unresponsive to corticosteroid s and immunosuppressive therapy. The girl died a year later from subar achnoid haemorrhage. The lethal prognosis in Cogan's syndrome despite the available treatment is emphasized.
