A Chinese case of Susac syndrome mimicking encephalitis

Susac syndrome is a rare Inflammatory cerebral microangiopathy characterized by the clinical triad of central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction, sensorineural hearing impairment, and branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO). Multiple microinfarctions of corpus callosum and internal capsule are believed to be its typical neuroimaging findings. We report a Chinese case of typical Susac syndrome presenting with encephalitis-like symptoms.
