Hearing loss in the Saethre-Chotzen syndrome

Abstract: A three-generation family with Saethre-Chotzen syndrome and an isolated case are presented. The proband presented with conductive hearing loss. His mother and grandmother showed minor features of the syndrome including conductive hearing loss.Symptoms of the craniosynostosis syndromes can include stapes ankylosis, a fixed ossicular chain in a too small epitympanum, and small or even absent mastoids. The proband was treated with a boneanchored hearing aid (B A H A ) instead of reconstructive middle ear surgery.… Show more

“…The hearing defect is usually conductive (Clauser et al, 2004) and can be due to stapes ankylosis, fixed ossicular chain, microtia or enlarged vestibules (sometimes associated to a small epitympanum and small or even absent mastoids) (Ensink et al, 1996). Mixed hearing loss due to brain stem anomalies has also been described (Lamonica et al, 2010).…”

“…The speech-hearing information on this condition is rare, especially since this is a condition difficult to diagnose (Gil-da-Silva-Lopes, 2004). Ensink et al (1996) conducted a study on the Saethre-Chotzen syndrome and verified the presence of conductive hearing loss that in this case was relayed to ankyolosis of the stapes and fixation of the ossicular chain as well as chronic infections of the middle ear.…”

“…The 14 percent rate of sensorineural involvement in our study group was higher than had been previously reported, and was significantly higher than the 0.88 percent prevalence reported in the general population. 32 Most series of Saethre-Chotzen patients have described mixed hearing loss, 30 conductive hearing loss, 27,28 or did not distinguish the type of loss. 19,25,29 There is only one prior reported case of pure sensorineural hearing loss in SaethreChotzen syndrome.…”
