Abstract

A 17-year-old girl with Cogan's syndrome is described. Total and irreversible hearing loss occurred which was unresponsive to corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy. The girl died a year later from subarachnoid haemorrhage. The lethal prognosis in Cogan's syndrome despite the available treatment is emphasized.
