Bilateral acute hearing loss is rare, and the aetiology is poorly defined. Less common treatable pathologies such as otosyphilis must be part of the differential diagnosis and should be actively excluded. We present a case of a 23-year-old woman who developed acute bilateral hearing loss due to otosyphilis, confirmed on audiometry and laboratory tests. In this article, the CT, MRI and clinical findings are presented and discussed.
双侧急性听力损失较为罕见,其病因尚不明确。一些不太常见的可治疗病因,如耳梅毒,必须纳入鉴别诊断范围,且应积极排除。我们报告一例23岁女性因耳梅毒导致急性双侧听力损失的病例,听力测定和实验室检查确诊了该病。本文展示并讨论了该病例的CT、MRI及临床检查结果。
