Primer caso reportado de síndrome de Cogan atípico en Centroamérica

Abstract

Case report

Case report of a 51 year old patient diagnosed with atypical Cogan's syndrome. The patient exhibited interstitial keratitis, anterior uveitis, and long-standing profound deafness. The treatment was based on topical and systemic steroids, resulting in a satisfactory evolution and currently in clinical remission.

Discussion

Cogan's syndrome is a chronic inflammatory disease that has existed for over 60 years. Because its diagnosis is purely clinical, not many cases have been reported worldwide. Therefore, it is important to be aware of this condition to make a quick diagnosis and provide multidisciplinary treatment, thus preventing irreversible complications.
