Abstract

 

Cogan syndrome is an inflammatory vascular disease with involvement of eye and ear. Cogan syndrome consists of

interstitial keratitis associated with vestibuloauditory dysfunction. The disease has a predilection for large and

medium sized blood vessels. Early diagnosis of Cogan syndrome is important because prompt treatment of the

cochlear symptoms with systemic steroids may prevent permanent and profound deafness. A case of Cogan

syndrome in chronic stage is represented in this report.

Key Words: Cogan syndrome, Interstitial keratitis, Audiovestibular dysfunction
