[Susac syndrome-interdisciplinary tracking of the chameleon: two different case reports].

This report presents two different courses of the disease in patients with Susac's syndrome. The first case of a 46-year-old woman, with previously confirmed Susac's syndrome, describes the treatment adjustment and monitoring. The second case of a 30-year-old woman shows the establishment of the initial diagnosis. DISCUSSION: The two reported cases of Susac's syndrome show the multifaceted range of clinical findings and courses of the disease. Furthermore, the diagnostic and therapeutic options are discussed with respect to the current literature. Diagnostic criteria already published by the European Susac Consortium and a good interdisciplinary collaboration enable a diagnosis as early as possible, which is essential for avoiding delayed treatment and reducing morbidity.
