Atypical Cogan's syndrome: A case report and summary of current treatment options

Original language description

Cogan's syndrome is a rare chronic vasculitis, characterized in its typical form by progressive sensorineural bilateral hearing loss, vestibular symptoms and non-syphilitic interstitial keratitis. Only a few cases have been reported in children, most ofwhom have been diagnosed with the typical form. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to ensure a favorable prognosis. Systemic treatment usually begins with high dosage corticosteroids. In case the initial treatment fails, other immunosuppressive drugs are used (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, cyclosporine A and azathioprine). Additional treatment possibilities, such as plasmapheresis, TNF-alpha blockers (etanercept and infliximab), rituximab, tocilizumab and mycophenolate mofetil have been described over the past few years.
