A clinical case of a rare disease — Susak’s syndrome — in a 24-year-old patient is presented. The disease developed during pregnancy and was accompanied by vestibulo-ataxic and visual disturbances. The diagnosis was established based on the results of clinical and laboratory-instrumental examination — the presence of microangiopathy with predominant damage to the arterioles of the cochlea, retina and brain. The diagnosis was established according to the results of a clinical study and the results of neuroimaging — microangiopathy with a predominant lesion of the arterioles of the cochlea, retina and brain. The response to glucocorticosteroid therapy was obtained. The possible role of the SARS-CoV-2 beta coronavirus in the genesis of the disease is being discussed. Currently, the patient is under the supervision of a neurologist and a rheumatologist, taking prednisone.
