Abstract | PURPOSE: CASE REPORT: CONCLUSIONS: This case described Cogan's syndrome with peripheral retinal angiomatosis and CMO. It highlights the variability of manifestations of this rare syndrome. Delay in diagnosis is common and can lead to visual and auditory disability. Corticosteroids are the first line of treatment and early administration may aid recovery. Early diagnosis and treatment of peripheral retinal angiomatosis lead to positive visual outcomes.
