Syndrome de Cogan. Rev Med Interne. 2020 Aug 06;: Authors: Mekinian A, Pouchot J, Zenone T, Fain O Abstract "Typical" Cogan's syndrome is defined as a non-syphilitic interstitial keratitis associated with audio-vestibular resembling Ménière's disease with a 2-year maximum delay between these 2 organ impairment. Cogan syndrome is classified as "atypical" in the absence of interstitial keratitis and the presence of other inflammatory eye manifestations, an audio-vestibular impairment different from typical Menière-like disease, or a delay longer than 2 years between eye and audio-vestibular manifestations. Constitutional signs and large-vessel vasculitis is also possible, mostly affecting the thoracic aorta. The presence of acute-phase reactants is common, but no specific laboratory tests are available. The prognosis is dominated by the audio-vestibular impairment and in particular the risk of deafness, while other complications especially vascular complications being rare. Treatment with glucocorticoids is usually necessary and the combination to other immunosuppressive therapies or biological-targeted drugs needs to be determined.
