Cogan’s syndrome as an interdisciplinary problem (literature review)
https://doi.org/10.33667/2078-5631-2025-9-42-46
Abstract
Cogan’s syndrome is a systemic vasculitis belonging to the group of variable vasculitis. It is characterized by damage to the eyes (interstitial keratitis) and the audiovisual system (sensorineural hearing loss, vestibular disorders), less often by the development of systemic manifestations (aortitis, neurological disorders). Systemic damage involving the eyes and audiovestibular apparatus requires differential diagnosis of a wide range of diseases, including Wegener's granulomatosis. The review provides detailed information on the etiopathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis, principles of therapy, and prognosis of this rare disease. The complexity of the diagnosis and treatment of Cogan’s syndrome highlights the need for an interdisciplinary approach to the management of such patients.
