Appointment prep
Prepare for a Susac syndrome evaluation
Hearing loss, vision changes, and brain symptoms (like migraines or cognitive issues) are often misdiagnosed as MS or migraine alone. Medvo helps you connect the triad of symptoms and request specialist imaging and referral — framed as evaluation, never diagnosis.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Sudden hearing loss, tinnitus, or vertigo
- · Branch retinal artery occlusions causing vision loss or scotomas
- · Severe headaches, cognitive fog, or psychiatric symptoms
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · MRI brain with contrast (showing characteristic lesions)
- · Fluorescein angiography of the retina
- · Referral to a neuro-ophthalmologist or specialist in rare autoimmune diseases
If you've been dismissed
- · Symptoms treated in isolation (hearing as 'Meniere's', vision as 'migraine')
- · No recognition of the full triad despite progressive symptoms
