Abstract

Cogan’s syndrome is a rare inflammatory disease with an unknown cause which affects vision and hearing. It is characterized by keratitis and hearing loss. Medium and large vessel vasculitis may accompany the disease. In the present case, a 14-year-old male was applied to our clinic with vision and hearing loss and consequently diagnoses as Cogan’s syndrome.
