Teaching NeuroImages: Snowball-like lesions with sudden hearing loss

Neurology current issue

A 53-year-old man presented with abrupt hearing loss, followed by a 4-week course of recurrent vertigo, headaches, and ataxia. Brain MRI revealed multiple punctate ischemic foci on corpus callosum (figure). Cerebral angiogram and echocardiogram were unremarkable. Susac syndrome was diagnosed following findings of branch retinal artery occlusion from fluorescein angiography (figure).
