Susac syndrome is a rare disease of unknown pathogenesis. It is caused by a microangiopathy affecting the arterioles of the brain, retina, and cochlea, giving the classic clinical triad of subacute encephalopathy, visual loss secondary to retinal branch occlusions, and sensorineural hearing loss. The features of four cases of this syndrome are presented. MR imaging, retinal fluorescein angiography, and audiography findings enable diagnosis. Early therapy may reduce sequelae and improve recovery.
Susac综合征是一种发病机制不明的罕见疾病。它由一种影响脑、视网膜和耳蜗小动脉的微血管病引起,具有典型的临床三联征,即亚急性脑病、视网膜分支阻塞继发的视力丧失和感音神经性听力损失。本文介绍了4例该综合征的病例特点。磁共振成像、视网膜荧光血管造影和听力检查结果有助于诊断。早期治疗可能会减少后遗症并促进康复。
