    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Mumps infection can cause profound unilateral sensorineural hearing loss in children. Early hearing tests after mumps are crucial for timely diagnosis and intervention in affected children.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in children can have various etiologies.
    • Mumps virus is a known cause of SNHL, but its role in unilateral cases requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the potential link between mumps infection and profound unilateral SNHL of unknown origin in children.
    • To determine the timing of mumps infection relative to the onset of hearing loss.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 33 children diagnosed with profound unilateral SNHL.
    • Assessed history of mumps infection and timing of disease onset relative to audiological assessments.

    Main Results:

    • Fifteen of the 33 children reported a history of mumps.

  • In 12 of these 15 children, mumps infection occurred between documented normal and abnormal hearing tests, indicating a potential causal link.

    • Conclusions:

    • Mumps infection is a significant potential cause of acquired profound unilateral SNHL in children.
    • Routine audiological evaluation following mumps infection is recommended to detect and manage hearing loss promptly.
