Summary
Congenital unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss in young patients was linked to an enlarged vestibular aqueduct. Computed tomography revealed this key abnormality, highlighting its significance in hearing loss.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Radiology
- Genetics
Background:
- Congenital hearing loss affects numerous children worldwide.
- Sensorineural hearing loss, particularly unilateral profound types, presents diagnostic challenges.
- Enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome (EVAS) is a recognized cause of congenital hearing impairment.
