The present report describes three familial cases of recessive hearing loss associated with enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct (EVA). Six siblings from three families showed EVA. The common characteristic of these patients was the presence of congenital, high-frequency, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss. These cases suggest that EVA may be a useful discriminator between different types of recessive hearing loss.
本报告描述了三例与前庭导水管扩大(EVA)相关的隐性听力损失家族病例。来自三个家庭的六名兄弟姐妹表现出EVA。这些患者的共同特征是存在先天性、高频、波动性感音神经性听力损失。这些病例表明,EVA可能是区分不同类型隐性听力损失的一个有用指标。
