title: What is Susac syndrome? - A brief review of articles.
abstract: Susac's syndrome (SS) is a clinical triad of encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusion and sensorineural hearing loss and maybe due to an immune-mediated endotheliopathy. Because of its rarity and some similarities to other common neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, it is often misdiagnosed and therefore mistreated. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one case report from our country with this diagnosis. Here, we have a short discussion on this issue to introduce it to our colleagues and remind it as a differential diagnosis in patients with unexplained encephalopathy.
