Otologic manifestation of systemic disease
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Problem statement: It is well established that numerous systemic dis¬eases have accompanying otologic manifestations. The diseases include syndromic genetic disorders such as Usher syndrome, branchio-oto-renal syn¬drome, Pendred syndrome, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome, and many others. In addition, other systemic diseases are associated with hearing loss (e.g., osteogenesis imper¬fecta, Paget disease of bone, diabetes mellitus, renal disease, hypothyroidism, and others). Over the past 10 years, however, otologic disease has been newly noted to be associated with several inherited and acquired disorders. This chapter briefly discusses the more important of these.
