[Disseminated intravascular coagulation in a patient with polyarteritis nodosa and bilateral hypoacusis]. / Coagulación intravascular diseminada en un paciente con panarteritis nodosa e hipoacusia bilateral.

ABSTRACT

We describe the case of a 44-years-old female patient with a panarteritis nodosa preceded by a rapid progressive bilateral deafness after an acute otitis media. Once on treatment with steroids and cyclophosphamide, she developed a disseminated intravascular coagulation, with a fatal evolution not justifiable by a different cause apart from her main disease.
