Síndrome de Susac en un paciente con colitis ulcerosa.

The Susac's syndrome is a rare disorder that was first described in 1979 and is characterized by a classic triad consisting in encephalopathy, visual impairment and sensorineural hearing loss. However, the etiology of the disease is still unclear. We report the case of a 29-year-old with ulcerative colitis treated with mercaptopurine, six months before to her admission started with personality changes attributed to symptoms of depression who subsequently present neurological symptoms characteristic of Susac's Syndrome. In the literature there is no clear association between inflammatory bowel disease and Susac's -syndrome, but this case is presented in order to emphasize the simultaneous presentation of these two diseases with a tendency to vasospasm and an autoimmune pathogenesis.
