Susac syndrome is an orphan disease characterised by encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusion and sensorineural hearing loss. As the clinical triad is rarely present at symptom onset, it is often initially misdiagnosed and appropriate treatment is often delayed. Herewith, we report a case of Susac syndrome in a 47-year-old man presenting with acute hemisensory loss and highlight the challenges of early diagnosis, particularly relevant in the era of hyperacute stroke management.
Susac综合征是一种罕见病,其特征为脑病、视网膜分支动脉阻塞和感音神经性听力损失。由于症状发作时很少出现这一临床三联征,该病最初常被误诊,适当治疗也常常延迟。在此,我们报告一例47岁男性Susac综合征患者,其表现为急性偏身感觉丧失,并强调早期诊断的挑战,这在超急性卒中管理时代尤为重要。
