Abstract
Microangiopathy of the inner ear, retina, and brain was first described in 1979 by John O. Susac. Since then, approximately 60 cases have been reporte d. Otolaryngologists must be aware of this syndrome, in which cochleovestib ular symptoms are an important part of the diagnosis. In this article, we r eport a new case of Susac syndrome and discuss the diagnosis, Physiopatholo gic characteristics, and treatment of this disease.
