Guidelines for Treatment of Susac Syndrome (SuS)

Susac syndrome (SuS) affects the brain, retina, and inner ear. And whose treatment is particularly challenging. Adding to the challenge is the absence of objective biomarkers of disease activity and the great variability in presentation, timing and extent of peak severity, duration of peak severity, and natural disease course. 

I’m Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins, Managing Editor of the International Journal of Stroke and I spoke to Dr Robert Rennebohm from The Susac Syndrome Consultation Service at the Cleveland Clinic, based in Cleveland, Ohio in the USA; and he gave us an expert insight into this little-known syndrome.
