Background: Susac syndrome is a rare autoimmune endotheliopathy that affects the central nervous system, retina, and inner ear, characterized by encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusions, and sensorineural hearing loss. Due to the heterogeneity of its presentation, early diagnosis, and treatment remain challenging.
Objective/methods: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and radiological responses in two patients with Susac syndrome treated with natalizumab in an off-label therapeutic approach, clinical assessments and serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed over a follow-up period of up to 22 months to monitor disease progression and treatment response.

A 27-year-old active duty infantryman presented with sudden vision loss in the right eye during strenuous exercise after experiencing similar symptoms in the left eye 5 months earlier.
