One month before admission, she developed progressive hearing loss, visual impairment, facial diparesis and bilateral trigeminal neuropathy. Cogan's syndrome was diagnosed. Prompt treat- ment with corticosteroid resulted in dramatic improvement of the ocular, otological and neuro- logical dysfunctions.
