Article Synopsis
- - Susac syndrome is a rare inflammatory condition affecting small blood vessels in the brain, eyes, and ears, primarily impacting young women, and is thought to stem from a type of vasculitis.
- - Diagnosis is based on a triad of symptoms: 1) subacute encephalopathy with unique headaches and psychiatric-like features along with brain lesions visible on MRI, 2) potential eye issues including retinal artery occlusions, and 3) cochlear damage causing low-frequency hearing loss.
- - Treatment starts with high doses of corticosteroids, and if symptoms are severe or recur, immunomodulatory drugs may be needed; while most patients eventually recover, they often face mild but persistent issues like hearing loss and cognitive challenges
