Hain, MD Last update: 10/2002 Cogan's syndrome is defined as nonsyphilitic interstitial keratitis (an inflammation of the eye) and bilateral audiovestibular deficits (hearing problems and dizziness).[web.archive.org]
Vestibular symptoms (39.1%) included vertigo, vomiting, and dizziness. Auditory involvement (65.2%) consisted of sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and deafness. Four patients had cardiac valve involvement, and 3 had skin manifestations.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neuroimaging and hypercoagulability workup was unremarkable. Vision and intraocular pressure improved, while uveitis remained recalcitrant. Several months later, the patient developed central serous retinopathy in the right eye (vision 20/30).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prognosis of typical CS is excellent with life-threatening aortic insufficiency (AI) developing in only 10% of reported cases. Serious systemic necrotizing vasculitis (SNV) rarely, if ever, complicates typical CS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis The prognosis is dominated by the risk of definitive deafness and by cardiovascular complications, notably aortic insufficiency. Severe visceral involvement or death related to cardiac or vascular involvement is unusual.[orpha.net]
Immunological tests can help to establish the diagnosis and the prognosis for the recovery of hearing.[pmj.bmj.com]

Finally, vigilance and awareness may also offer a better setting to study the pathophysiological mechanisms of this rare but debilitating phenomenon.[zora.uzh.ch]
On the other hand, the application of a study protocol including MRI and a series of immunological tests might facilitate the establishment of the prognosis for the auditory injury, opening new lines of research focusing on the pathophysiological mechanisms[pmj.bmj.com]
Pathophysiology Clinically, the corneal endothelium has been described to have a "hammered silver" or "beaten bronze" appearance in ICE syndrome patients, similar to corneal guttae seen in Fuchs Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy. [1] [2] On a pathological[eyewiki.aao.org]
Prompt steroid therapy for Cogan's syndrome based on a diagnosis made using PET/CT prevented progression of the hypoacusis.[jstage.jst.go.jp]
Adequate preimplant counselling is mandatory, to prevent high expectations and to stress the necessity for bilateral implantation. In 60% of patients with Cogan syndrome, CI remains the only treatment option.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There are similar autoimmune diseases such as Menieres, that are more widely recognized and diagnosed, but treatment of Cogan's Syndrome requires an immediate diagnose to prevent the disease from doing permanent damage.[amazon.com]
Although CSy is considered to be an autoimmune disease and is associated with IBD, immunomodulatory IBD maintenance treatment and even anti-TNF therapy do not seem to prevent disease onset.[zora.uzh.ch]
Early diagnosis is essential to commence the appropriate immunosuppressive therapy that may prevent permanent hearing loss and ocular dysfunction.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
