4. On what would you base your definition of Susser Syndrome?[Aschengrau & Seage pp. 217-219]

  1. Neurological symptoms alone
  2. Self-diagnosis of the participants
  3. Combination of neurological symptoms and laboratory tests
Answer (a) — incorrect: Susser Syndrome presents with a broad spectrum of symptoms (See the Epiville Department of Health Website). Because of its symptomatic commonality with other disorders, you first need to differentiate Susser Syndrome from other neurological problems.
Answer (b) — incorrect: Susser Syndrome requires clinical evaluation for diagnosis. Self-diagnosis is suspect and can lead to either an over- or underestimate of associated risks due to misclassification of disease status.
Answer (c) — correct: This is the most accurate way to diagnose Susser Syndrome.
