Abstract:
Hearing loss is a possible sequel of myelography. We describe a case of bilateral hearing loss of -60 dB, which recovered completely after an epidural blood patch. In hearing loss or tinnitus in association with a possible cerebrospinal fluid loss after a diagnostic or therapeutic puncture of the lumbar dural sack, an epidural blood patch is a viable and recommended therapeutic option.
