title: [Vascular involvement in Cogan's syndrome. A case report].
abstract: Vascular manifestations of Cogan's syndrome are rarely reported. We report the case of a young woman followed for typical Cogan's disease. Serious vascular involvement was found only during work-up for arterial hypertension. This case highlights potentially asymptomatic nature of extensive vasculitis affecting large and medium-sized vessels in Cogan's disease. Careful screening is required to prevent life-threatening complications.
