A 26-year-old woman with bilateral otosclerosis underwent right stapedectomy with an excellent result. One year later, however, she developed symptoms of mumps and within two days was completely deaf in the right ear. Prompt surgical exploration excluded a complication of the otosclerosis and a perilymph fistula, but culture of a sample of perilymph grew mumps virus. The case provides direct evidence of a relation between mumps virus infection and inner-ear damage.
一名患有双侧耳硬化症的26岁女性接受了右侧镫骨切除术,效果极佳。然而,一年后,她出现了腮腺炎症状,两天内右耳完全失聪。及时的手术探查排除了耳硬化症和外淋巴瘘的并发症,但外淋巴样本培养出了腮腺炎病毒。该病例提供了腮腺炎病毒感染与内耳损伤之间存在关联的直接证据。
