Autoimmune deafness represents a heterogeneous group of disorders in which there is though to be inner ear and/or middle ear damage mediated by various immunological abnormalities. We describe a patient with Wegener's granulomatosis in whom there was evidence of significant inner ear damage caused by vasculitis, which was completely reversed by cyclophosphamide and prednisolone. We propose that Wegener's granulomatosis is a cause of autoimmune deafness.
自身免疫性耳聋是一组异质性疾病，据认为是由各种免疫异常介导的内耳和/或中耳损伤。我们描述了一名患有韦格纳肉芽肿病的患者，有证据表明其内耳损伤是由血管炎引起的，环磷酰胺和泼尼松龙使其完全恢复。我们认为韦格纳肉芽肿病是自身免疫性耳聋的一个病因。
