Abstract: | Summary The inflammation of aortic wall, named aortitis, is a rare condition that can be caused by a number of pathologies, mainly inflammatory or infectious in nature. In this context, the occurrence of combined audiovestibular and/or ocular manifestations eventually led to the diagnosis of Cogan's syndrome, making it the rare case, but susceptible to adequate immunosuppressive treatment and satisfactory disease control. Resumo A inflamação da parede da aorta, denominada aortite, é uma condição clínica rara, que pode ser causada por diversas patologias, principalmente as de fundo inflamatório e/ou infeccioso. Nesse contexto, a ocorrência de sintomas vestibulares e oftalmológicos associados ao quadro remete ao diagnóstico de síndrome de Cogan, tornando o caso raro, mas passível de tratamento imunossupressor adequado e controle satisfatório da doença. |
