Atypical Cogan syndrome; case report
Journal Title: Revista de Medicină Militară - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Cogan syndrome is a rare disease characterized by the concomitance of non-syphilitic interstitial keratitis with Meniere-like vestibulo-auditory symptoms. There are criteria for the diagnosis of both typical and atypical Cogan syndrome. We present the case of a 40 years old woman with sudden onset of hearing loss, tinnitus, intense vertigo, instability associated with kerato-conjunctivitis. The concomitance of the symptoms, the onset, and the evolution under treatment are consistent with the diagnosis of atypical Cogan syndrome
