ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To report a case of cochlear ossification as a result of neurosarcoidosis in a patient with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss. STUDYDESIGN:
Case report Setting University teaching hospital, tertiary referral center. PATIENT Forty-year-old man with neurosarcoidosis and bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss. Intervention Unilateral cochlear implantation. OUTCOMEMEASURE:
Aided thresholds speech perception tests.RESULTS:
Marked improvement in hearing following implant.CONCLUSION:
Patients with neurosarcoidosis are at risk of labyrinthitis ossificans. Early imaging of these patients is recommended and if early cochlear ossification is identified they should be offered rapid access to rehabilitation with a cochlear implant.Palabras clave
