We report a case of bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) in a patient suffering from chronic venous cerebrospinal insufficiency (CCSVI).
Audiometric testing confirmed bilateral sensorineural hearing loss with hypoexcitability to caloric stimulation on the left side and echo-colour Doppler examination showed abnormal cerebral venous deficiency.
The patient's condition improved after 15 days following medical treatment.
CCSVI may explain the anatomical background which provides a predisposing factor for SSHL although further studies are needed to verify whether this observation is casual or coincidental.
我们报告一例患有慢性静脉性脑脊髓功能不全(CCSVI)的患者出现双侧突发性感音神经性听力损失(SSHL)的病例。
听力测试证实为双侧感音神经性听力损失,左侧对冷热刺激反应低下,彩色多普勒超声检查显示脑静脉异常缺损。
经药物治疗15天后患者病情有所改善。
CCSVI可能解释了为SSHL提供易感因素的解剖学背景,尽管需要进一步研究来证实这一观察结果是偶然的还是巧合的。
