| Abstract |
A 38-year-old woman seropositive for hepatitis C developed headache, sensorineural hearing loss, encephalopathy, and retinal arteriolar occlusions. Brain MRI showed signal abnormalities in the basal ganglia and corpus callosum. These features are consistent with Susac syndrome, a multifocal central nervous system disorder of uncertain etiology. This is the first reported case of Susac syndrome in a patient with hepatitis C. |
