    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Pharmacology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Chloroquine phosphate is an antimalarial drug with known potential ototoxic side effects.
    • Cochleo-vestibular dysfunction presents a significant challenge in pediatric audiology and neurology.

    Observation:

    • A six-year-old girl developed severe cochleo-vestibular dysfunction after chloroquine phosphate treatment.
    • The dysfunction manifested as significant hearing impairment.

    Findings:

    • Prompt administration of steroids and vasodilators led to the restoration of serviceable hearing.
    • This suggests a potential therapeutic window for reversing chloroquine-induced ototoxicity.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing drug-induced hearing loss in children.
