Autoimmune inner ear disease is a well described entity. We report a case of sudden-onset sensorineural hearing loss in association with psoriatic arthritis, which has not been reported in the literature. The case satisfies the criteria for the presumptive diagnosis of autoimmune hearing loss. A high index of suspicion, with early diagnosis and aggressive treatment with steroids and/or immunosuppressive agents, is essential to prevent irreversible hearing loss. The condition of psoriatic arthritis must be added to the pantheon of autoimmune diseases that can lead to sensorineural hearing loss.
自身免疫性内耳疾病是一种已被充分描述的病症。我们报告了一例与银屑病关节炎相关的突发性感音神经性听力损失病例，该病例在文献中尚未见报道。该病例符合自身免疫性听力损失的推定诊断标准。高度怀疑、早期诊断以及使用类固醇和/或免疫抑制剂进行积极治疗对于预防不可逆性听力损失至关重要。银屑病关节炎必须被纳入可导致感音神经性听力损失的自身免疫性疾病范畴。
