The fibrin/Gelfoam vehicle was the only delivery system to produce reliable damage. Ototoxic damage depended on the vehicle. We found no evidence for selective vestibular ototoxicity with gentamicin.
Craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD) is a genetic syndrome involving cranial and tubular bone anomalies that commonly present at a young age, often with otolaryngologic manifestations. In this paper, we report a rare case of a sporadic form of the disease resulting in an early state of hypocalcemia with secondary hyperparathyroidism. A conductive hearing loss is also documented prior to 12 months of age. The clinical aspects of CMD will be covered along with its pathogenesis. The current concepts surrounding medical and surgical treatments will be reviewed, and the management of our patient will be discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
