Complete Susac syndrome in a 22-year old male in Colombia: Case report and a review of the literature.

We report the case of a 22 year-old male with a clinical picture of 4 months onset of headaches, deafness, and a decrease of vision in the left eye. His mother mentioned he also had changes in behaviour and mood. The magnetic resonance scan of the brain showed multiple hyper-intense lesions in the knee of the corpus callosum. The hearing test reported a neurosensory deafness. In the ophthalmoscopy, a retinal infarction was observed in the nerve fibre layer in the left eye, which was confirmed using optical coherence tomography. The fluorescein angiography showed multiple foci of hyperfluorescence of the arteriole walls, arteriole filling defects, and regional ischaemia foci of the choroid. These findings confirmed the presumed diagnosis of a Susac syndrome. This is one of the few cases reported in the literature of a Susac syndrome in a young man with the complete diagnostic triad, and the first in Colombia.
