Atypical Cogan's syndrome presenting as bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis.
We report a case of atypical Cogan's syndrome presenting as bilateral endogenous endophthalmitis in a woman with ovarian cancer. A 62-year-old woman with ovarian cancer developed bilateral interstitial keratitis and panuveitis accompanied by bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and chondritis. Auricular cartilage biopsy ruled out relapsing polychondritis and the diagnosis of atypical Cogan's syndrome was set clinically.
