Susac syndrome is a rare disease of unknown pathogenesis. It is caused by a microangiopathy \udaffecting the arterioles of the brain, retina, and cochlea, giving the classic clinical triad of subacute \udencephalopathy, visual loss secondary to retinal branch occlusions, and sensorineural hearing loss. \udMagnetic resonanace imaging, retinal fluorescein angiography, and audiography findings enable \uddiagnosis. Early therapy may reduce sequelae and improve recovery. Herein we report a case of \udSusac syndrome with all the findings of the disease. \u
