Multiple cranial neuropathy in Cogan's syndrome.
A 20 year old woman presented with recurrent alternative keratitis for four months. One month before admission, she developed progressive hearing loss, visual impairment, facial diparesis and bilateral trigeminal neuropathy. Cogan's syndrome was diagnosed. Prompt treatment with corticosteroid resulted in dramatic improvement of the ocular, otological and neurological dysfunctions.
