    This summary is machine-generated.

    Syphilis can cause cochleovestibular dysfunction, including sensorineural hearing loss and vertigo, without a distinct pattern. Hearing impairment progresses over time, with early stages showing less severity than later ones.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Syphilis is a known cause of acquired hearing loss.
    • Cochleovestibular dysfunction can manifest in various ways.
    • The specific patterns of syphilitic cochleovestibular dysfunction are not well-defined.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical patterns of cochleovestibular dysfunction in patients with syphilis.
    • To analyze the relationship between syphilis type (congenital vs. acquired) and dysfunction characteristics.
    • To assess the progression of hearing impairment over time.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 38 patients diagnosed with cochleovestibular dysfunction and syphilis.
    • Evaluation of audiological and vestibular symptoms.

  • Categorization of syphilis as congenital or acquired.
  • Analysis of symptom onset and duration.

    • Main Results:

    • All patients (100%) presented with sensorineural hearing loss (82% bilateral, 18% unilateral).
    • Episodic rotatory vertigo was reported in 42% of patients.
    • Only 24% exhibited the classic triad of endolymphatic hydrops symptoms.
    • Hearing impairment was less severe in the first 5 years compared to later intervals.

    Conclusions:

    • Syphilis causes diverse cochleovestibular dysfunction without a characteristic pattern.
    • Sensorineural hearing loss and vertigo are common manifestations.
    • Hearing impairment severity increases with the duration of the condition.
