We report a case of Susac's syndrome characterized by subacute encephalopathy, bilateral hearing loss and multiple bilateral branch retinal artery occlusions in a forty-year-old-white-woman. Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed on T2-weighted images multiple, punctate areas of increased signal intensity in periventricular white matter, gray matter and brainstem most of them being enhanced by gadolinium. Cerebrospinal fluid was acellular but with an increased protein level (1.66 g/l). Treatment with cyclophosphamid and intravenous immmunoglobulin resulted in dramatic improvement of the clinical status over the following months and CSF normalization.
