The case is described of a patient with rheumatoid disease and evidence of vasculitis who developed acute vestibuloauditory dysfunction resulting in total deafness, which was assumed to be secondary to a vasculitic process affecting the vestibulocochlear nerve. Treatment of the underlying vasculitic process, despite effecting a general improvement of the patient's rheumatoid disease, did not significantly improve the auditory dysfunction.
本文描述了一例患有类风湿性疾病并有血管炎证据的患者,该患者出现急性前庭听觉功能障碍并导致全聋,推测这是由影响前庭蜗神经的血管炎过程继发所致。尽管对潜在的血管炎过程进行治疗后患者的类风湿性疾病总体有所改善,但听觉功能障碍并未得到显著改善。
