ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To report a case of Susac syndrome with ocular complications in the chronic stage of the disease. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 37-year-old male patient of Indian origin presented with painless blurring of vision in the right eye. Ophthalmoscopic examination revealed vitreous hemorrhage in the right eye and NVE in both eyes well-documented angiographically. Old medical records revealed a previous attack of bilateral BRAO as a complete triad of Susac syndrome 10 years before, with an uncomplicated clinical course. Panretinal photocoagulation helped in stabilization of the condition. CONCLUSION: Ocular neovascularisation like NVE with vitreous hemorrhage can be a late manifestation of occlusive arteriolitis in Susac syndrome.
