Insights
This case report highlights the importance of follow-up for infants with failed newborn hearing screening. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing progressive hearing loss in children with Ichthyosis Preauricular Type II (IP-II).
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Genetics
- Pediatrics
Background:
- Ichthyosis Preauricular Type II (IP-II) is a rare genetic disorder.
- Children with IP-II may present with hearing impairments.
- Newborn hearing screening is critical for early detection of hearing loss.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a case of bilateral IP-II with unilateral failed newborn hearing screening.
- To demonstrate the diagnostic and intervention processes for progressive hearing loss in a child with IP-II.
- To emphasize the significance of follow-up and auditory intervention.
Main Methods:
- Case report methodology.
- Diagnostic evaluation included pure tone audiometry, Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
- Management involved radiological assessment, hearing intervention, and follow-up.
Main Results:
- A 6-year-old boy diagnosed with bilateral IP-II and progressive hearing loss.
- Radiological imaging confirmed IP-II and aided in diagnosis.
- Auditory intervention was necessary due to the child's hearing needs.
Conclusions:
- Follow-up of referred children from newborn hearing screening is essential.
- Radiological imaging plays a vital role in diagnosing and managing hearing loss.
- Addressing progressive hearing loss and providing auditory intervention is crucial for developmental outcomes.
Abstract:
To present a case with IP-II that had unilaterally refer result in newborn hearing screening and had progressive hearing loss by demonstrating the diagnosis and intervention processes.
Design:
Case Report.
Setting:
A University Hospital.
Subjects:
A 6-year-old boy with bilateral IP-II who has a history of failed newborn hearing screening on one side.
Methods:
Pure tone hearing thresholds, Auditory Brainstem Response and Magnetic Resonance Imaging results investigated. A progressive hearing loss and IP-II were noted. The developmental characteristics, diagnosis process including radiological evaluation, hearing intervention and follow-up were presented. This case report revealed the importance of follow-up of referred children in newborn hearing screening, the importance of radiological imaging in the diagnosis and intervention process of hearing loss, the approach to progressive hearing loss and the necessity of auditory intervention due to the hearing needs.
