Abstract | BACKGROUND: PATIENTS/METHODS: Three patients with confirmed Susac syndrome were evaluated for disease-specific retinal pathologies. In addition, the overall history of the disease is presented to put the ophthalmological pathology into context. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Interdisciplinary collaboration between neurologists, otorhinolaryngologists and ophthalmologists is mandatory to establish the diagnosis of the disease. The occurrence of the characteristic retinal pathology with small artery occlusions and a segmental vasculopathy should always lead to the differential diagnosis of Susac syndrome.
