Do Not Forget Susac Syndrome in Patients with Unexplained Acute Confusion (P6.303)

CONCLUSIONS: We report two patients evaluated within one month of each other who presented with acute confusion associated with MRI and CSF abnormalities and were eventually diagnosed with Susac syndrome. Susac syndrome remains under-diagnosed and should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with unexplained confusional state associated with CSF pleocytosis/proteinorrachia and MRI callosal abnormalities.Disclosure: Dr. Star has nothing to disclose.
