Abstract
Purpose: We report the second case of bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss with intracochlear fibrosis due to chronic myeloid leukemia.
Case report: A 44-year-old man presented to the emergency department with rapidly progressive bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo, associated with dyspnea. Chronic myeloid leukemia complicated by pulmonary and cochleovestibular leukostasis was diagnosed, and cytoreductive treatment was started. Despite this treatment, bilateral total hearing loss and complete vestibular deficit persisted. MRI showed bilateral labyrinthitis, and emergency cochlear implantation was indicated. During surgery, inflammatory intracochlear tissue made electrode array insertion possible only against resistance. One year after implantation, there was significant improvement in speech recognition and communication scores.
Conclusion: In case of sudden sensorineural hearing loss induced by chronic myeloid leukemia, treatment should be as fast as possible, with prompt cochlear implantation in case of definitive profound hearing loss, because of the risk of cochlear fibrosis and ossification.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
