Susac's syndrome

Medical condition

Susac's syndrome is a very rare form of microangiopathy characterized by encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusions and hearing loss. The cause is unknown but it is theorized that antibodies are produced against endothelial cells in tiny arteries which leads to damage and the symptoms related to the illness. Despite this being an extremely rare disease, there are four registries collecting data on the illness; two are the United States, one in Germany, and one in Portugal.
