[Cardiovascular manifestations of Cogan syndrome. Apropos of a case].
The authors describe a case of Cogan's syndrome in a patient with ulcerative colitis complicated by several cardiovascular manifestations including bilateral coronary ostial stenosis, rapidly progressive aortic regurgitation and aneurysm of the thoracic aorta, thrombosis of the common iliac artery and pericardial symphysis. This rare form of inflammatory arteritis, the diagnosis of which is usually made on the finding of associated ocular and auditory involvement, is distinct from other types of angiitis by the predisposition to severe cardiovascular complications which influence the vital prognosis. The differential diagnosis with more common collagen diseases with cardiovascular complications is discussed.
