Abstract

Susac syndrome (SS) is a rare microangiopathy that involves arterioles of the brain, retina, and cochlea. Diagnosis is extremely difficult because of the rarity of the disease and because the signs and symptoms often occur at different times. Multidisciplinary approaches and multimodal images are mandatory for diagnosis and prompt therapy. In this report, we describe a case of SS and the application of multimodal retinal imaging to evaluate the ophthalmologic changes and to confirm diagnosis. Early diagnosis and therapy based on the associations of steroids and immunosuppressants are necessary to limit the sequelae of the disease.
