Three patients, a female and two males, 28, 15, and 14 years of age, with Kabuki make‐up syndrome (KMS) were studied for middle and inner ear abnormalities by using CT scanning of the petrous bones. All three patients had bilateral dysplasia of the inner ear, i.e., hypodysplasia of the cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals (so‐called Mondini dysplasia), whereas their middle ears had no abnormalities. Audiometry demonstrated a sharp decrease in hearing of the high tone range, bilateral in one and unilateral in another, while the third patient was noncooperative. In view of these findings, it would be advisable to study each individual with KMS and hearing impairment for possible inner ear abnormalities. Am. J. Med.

We report a family with inner ear lateral semicircular canal (LSC) malformation and external and middle ear abnormalities. The family had no history of known syndromes or toxic exposures. Distinct phenotypic manifestations were found in three family members. A young girl exhibited bilateral LSC malformation with a right-sided preauricular tag, a mildly deformed auricle, a stenotic external auditory canal, and a constricted middle ear cavity. She had moderate conductive hearing loss in the right ear but normal hearing in the left ear. Her younger brother exhibited right-sided LSC malformation, microtia, external auditory canal atresia, a malformed middle ear cavity, and abnormal auditory ossicles. He had severe mixed hearing loss in his right ear. Their mother exhibited left-sided LSC malformation without external and middle ear abnormalities, and the hearing was normal in her left ear. None of the three cases had vestibular symptoms, and their results of balance tests were appropriate for the corresponding ages. In contrast, significantly decreased LSC function was revealed by caloric tests in an ear with LSC malformation. Previously, LSC malformation may have been underdiagnosed in patients presenting with external and middle ear abnormalities and their relatives, since this malformation is frequently associated with normal hearing and balance or conductive hearing loss only. To our knowledge, this condition has not been described previously. This condition supports a genetic basis for the combination of LSC malformation and external and middle ear abnormalities and may represent an autosomal dominant condition with variable expressivity. 相似文献

Velo-cardio-facial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome (VCFS/DGS) is a congenital anomaly disorder associated with hemizygous 22q11 deletions. We previously showed that bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenic mice overexpressing four transgenes, PNUTL1, (CDCrel-1), GP1B beta, TBX1 and WDR14, had reduced viability, cardiovascular malformations and thymus gland hypoplasia. Since these are hallmark features of VCFS/DGS, we analyzed the mice for additional anomalies. We found that the mice have important defects in the middle and inner ear that are directly relevant to the disorder. The most striking defect was the presence of chronic otitis media, a common finding in VCFS/DGS patients. In addition, the mice had a hyperactive circling behavior and sensorineural hearing loss. This was associated with middle and inner ear malformations, analogous to Mondini dysplasia in humans reported to occur in VCFS/DGS patients. We propose that overexpression of one or more of the transgenes is responsible for the etiology of the ear defects in the mice. Based upon its pattern of expression in the ear and functional studies of the gene, TbX1 likely plays a central role. Haploinsufficiency of TBX1 may be responsible for ear disorders in VCFS/DGS patients. 相似文献

TBX1 is thought to be a critical gene in the pathogenesis of del22q11/DiGeorge syndrome (DGS). Morphological abnormalities of the external ear and hearing impairment (conductive or sensorineural) affect the majority of patients. Here we show that homozygous mutation of the mouse homolog Tbx1 is associated with severe inner ear defects that prevent the formation of the cochlea and of the vestibulum. Consistent with phenotypic abnormalities, Tbx1 is expressed early in otocyst development in the otic epithelium and in the periotic mesenchyme. Tbx1 loss-of-function blocks inner ear development at early otocyst stage and after neurogenesis. Analysis of chimeras suggests that Tbx1 function is required in the otic epithelium cell autonomously, but abnormalities of the periotic mesenchyme indicate that the pathogenesis of the inner ear phenotype is complex. We propose a model where Tbx1 is required for expansion of a subpopulation of otic epithelial cells, which is required to form the vestibular and auditory organs. Our data suggest that Tbx1 deletion in del22q11 patients may cause not only external and middle ear defects but also sensorineural and vestibular phenotypes observed in these patients. 相似文献

Genetic features of hearing loss associated with ear anomalies: PDS and EYA1 mutation analysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Mutation analysis of the PDS gene and the EYA1 gene, which are reported to be responsible for hearing loss associated with ear anomalies, was performed in 24 deaf patients
with various middle and inner ear anomalies. The present study was done to clarify the spectrum of middle and inner ear malformations
covered by these two genes. PDS mutations were found only in patients with enlarged vestibular aqueducts and EYA1 mutations were detected only in patients with ear pits and cervical fistulae, indicating that these two genes are associated
with particular forms of middle and inner ear malformation. The genetic approach provides a strong tool for the diagnosis
of hearing loss associated with ear anomalies.

A hearing screening program was performed to determine the prevalence of hearing loss and abnormal tympanometry in individuals with short-stature skeletal dysplasias attending a national meeting. Behavioral audiometry, otoacoustic emission testing, and tympanometry were used to assess hearing. Failed hearing screen was defined as hearing ≥ 35 dB at one or more frequencies or by "fail" on otoacoustic emissions. One hundred ten of 112 subjects completed the screening. 58 (51.8%) were children. Seventy-three (65.2%) had achondroplasia, 34 (30.4%) had one of 11 other diagnoses, and 5(4.4%) were undiagnosed. 25.8% of children failed hearing screening in one or both ears, while 46.3% of adults failed in one or both ears. 55.1% of adults and 25.0% of children with achondroplasia failed screening. Abnormal hearing was also found in the some patients with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenital (SEDC; 75%), diastrophic dysplasia (66%), and Morquio (66%). Hearing was normal in those with hypochondroplasia, pseudoachondroplasia, and microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism. Tympanometry was abnormal in at least one ear in 53.3% of children and 38.5% of adults. Abnormal tympanometry in the absence of functioning tympanostomy tubes was associated with 9.5 greater odds of hearing loss in children and 2.8 greater odds of hearing loss in the total cohort. Only 3 (2.7%) respondents reported the use of hearing aids. Hearing loss and middle ear disease are common in both children and adults with skeletal dysplasia. Adults were more likely to fail hearing screening than children. Abnormal tympanometry is associated with hearing loss. Hearing screening with appropriate intervention is recommended for these patients. 相似文献

The mammalian ear is a complex structure divided into three main parts: the outer; middle; and inner ear. These parts are formed from all three germ layers and neural crest cells, which have to integrate successfully in order to form a fully functioning organ of hearing. Any defect in development of the outer and middle ear leads to conductive hearing loss, while defects in the inner ear can lead to sensorineural hearing loss. This review focuses on the development of the parts of the ear involved with sound transduction into the inner ear, and the parts largely ignored in the world of hearing research: the outer and middle ear. The published data on the embryonic origin, signalling, genetic control, development and timing of the mammalian middle and outer ear are reviewed here along with new data showing the Eustachian tube cartilage is of dual embryonic origin. The embryonic origin of some of these structures has only recently been uncovered (Science, 339, 2013, 1453; Development, 140, 2013, 4386), while the molecular mechanisms controlling the growth, structure and integration of many outer and middle ear components are hardly known. The genetic analysis of outer and middle ear development is rather limited, with a small number of genes often affecting either more than one part of the ear or having only very small effects on development. This review therefore highlights the necessity for further research into the development of outer and middle ear structures, which will be important for the understanding and treatment of conductive hearing loss. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to evaluate the anatomical details of the inner ear and middle ear, using multidetector row CT. Temporal bone CT scans were obtained using 16-detector row CT scanner (Lightspeed 16, General Electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI) in 30 patients with dizziness, vertigo, or hearing loss. The three-dimensional (3D) images were reconstructed with volume rendering techniques. The 3D images were reviewed by two radiologists and scored by using a three-point quality rating for qualitative assessment of the 23 representative structures of the middle and inner ear. The malleus, incus, and facial nerve canal were identified in all patients. The incudomalleolar joint appeared fused in all patients. The stapes were seen clearly in 27 (90%) of 30 patients except in three patients. Among the three remaining patients, there was one who had effusions in the middle ear cavity. Another patient had left cholesteatoma. The third patient had normal middle ear cavity. The cochlea and the three semicircular canals (anterior, posterior, and lateral) were well demonstrated in 29 (97%) of 30 patients except for one old woman with osteoporosis. Sixteen-detector row CT imaging of temporal bone with advanced 3D reformation yields state-of-the-art anatomical details of the temporal region useful to address anatomical localization issues and ease conceptual structural learning. 相似文献

Craniofrontonasal dysostosis (CFND) is an inherited disorder previously referred to as craniofrontonasal dysplasia. However, there is no evidence of tissue dysplasia and, therefore, the term dysostosis has been substituted. The disorder is characterized by frontonasal dysostosis, coronal craniostenosis, and the variable presence of other skeletal defects, including short webbed neck, sloping shoulders, polydactyly, syndactyly, and broad first toes. Here we report an affected mother and daughter who also have limited hip abduction. In addition, the mother had an axillary pterygia, congenital footplate fixation of the left ear, and right sensorineural hearing loss; these manifestations have not been reported previously in CFND and expand the phenotype of this syndrome. Both patients had marked restriction of shoulder abduction, and the mother had limited forearm pronation; these manifestations have been reported in only one other patient with CFND. Awareness of the possibility of these abnormalities may allow for early intervention by physical therapy and hearing aides in infants and young children with these manifestations as a component of CFND. 相似文献

Otosclerosis is a primary osteodystrophy which affects a localized area within the human temporal bone. Hearing loss is the most functional deficit caused by otosclerosis. However, tinnitus and vestibular disorders are frequently reported by otosclerotic patients, especially in those patients with inner ear involvement. The best therapy in achieving a significant improvement is surgery (stapedoplasty). In most patients if the operation is not carried out for pure middle ear type, the hearing impairment can progress to high-degree hearing loss. Recently, guidelines for the treatment of otosclerosis reported the 20 dbHL threshold as the minimum air-bone gap in performing stapedoplasty. We believe that stapedoplasty is an effective procedure for selected patients affected by otosclerosis with an air-bone gap which is smaller than 20 dbHL. An operation in the earlier phases of the disease can arrest the progression of otosclerosis, preserve inner ear structures and provide a complete auditory recovery, with increased satisfaction of the patient. 相似文献

As part of a prospective study of acute bacterial meningitis in children, we studied for five years the hearing of 185 infants and children who had acute bacterial meningitis when they were more than one month of age. Nineteen (10.3 per cent) of the patients had persistent bilateral or unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The incidence of hearing loss as determined by electric-response audiometry and conventional tests was 31 per cent with Streptococcus pneumoniae, 10.5 per cent with Neisseria meningitidis, and 6 per cent with Hemophilus influenzae infections. Transient conductive hearing impairment was found in 16 per cent of the sample, but in no case was there apparent improvement in a sensorineural deficit over time. The site of disease resulting in impaired hearing cannot be stated with certainty, but involvement of the inner ear or auditory nerve was suspected. The number of days of illness (symptoms) before hospitalization and institution of antibacterial treatment was not correlated with the development of sensorineural deafness. 相似文献

The present study was undertaken to learn the outcome of patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) in their only hearing ear. Timing to conduct a cochlear implantation was also determined in those who did not recover the hearing. The study group comprised 25 patients who confronted ISSNHL in their only hearing ear. A total of 192 patients, who had ISSNHL in one ear and had normal contralateral ear, served as the control. Demographically there were no significant differences between the groups. The recovery rate was similar between the groups: 64.0% in the experimental and 62.5% in the control group. The duration until the recovery of ISSNHL in the only hearing ear was 5-90 days (average 17.6 days). In the experimental group, 8 patients did not recover from ISSNHL, and underwent cochlear implantation in 6 with satisfactory results. These results suggest that the same treatment is applicable for patients with ISSNHL regardless of whether their contralateral ear is deaf or normal. For those who do not recover from ISSNHL in their only hearing ear, culminating in bilateral deafness, we may consider further definitive treatment including cochlear implantation as early as 3 months after initiating the treatment of ISSNHL. 相似文献

Hearing impairment is common in individuals with branchio-oculo-facial (BOF) syndrome. The majority of described individuals have conductive hearing impairment due to malformed ossicles and/or external canal stenosis or atresia, although a sensorineural component to the hearing impairment in BOF syndrome is increasingly being reported. Sophisticated computed tomography (CT) of the temporal bone has revealed middle and inner ear malformations in three previous reports. We present middle and inner ear abnormalities in three additional individuals with mutation-proven BOF syndrome. We suggest that temporal bone CT imaging be included in the medical workup of a child with BOF syndrome, in order to guide management. 相似文献

Mutations in SLC26A4 cause Pendred syndrome (PS) – hearing loss with goitre – or DFNB4 – non‐syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) with inner ear abnormalities such as Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct (EVA) or Mondini Dysplasia (MD). We tested 303 unrelated Czech patients with early hearing loss (298 with NSHL and 5 with PS), all GJB2‐negative, for SLC26A4 mutations and evaluated their clinical and radiological phenotype. Among 115 available HRCT/MRI scans we detected three MD (2.6%), three Mondini‐like affections (2.6%), 16 EVA (13 bilateral – 19.2% and 15.6% respectively) and 61 EVA/MD‐negative scans (73.4%). We found mutation(s) in 26 patients (8.6%) and biallelic mutations in eight patients (2.7%) out of 303 tested. In 18 of 26 (69%) patients, no second mutation could be detected even using MLPA. The spectrum of SLC26A4 mutations in Czech patients is broad without any prevalent mutation. We detected 21 different mutations (four novel). The most frequent mutations were p.Val138Phe and p.Leu445Trp (18% and 8.9% of pathogenic alleles respectively). Among 13 patients with bilateral EVA, six patients (50%) carry biallelic mutations. In EVA ‐negative patients no biallelic mutations were found but 4.9% had monoallelic mutations. SLC26A4 mutations are present mostly in patients with EVA/MD and/or progressive HL and those with affected siblings. 相似文献

Autoimmune inner ear disease is described as progressive, bilateral although asymmetric, sensorineural hearing loss and can be improved by immunosuppressive therapy. We showed that the inner ear autoantigen β-tubulin is capable of inducing experimental autoimmune hearing loss (EAHL) in mice. Immunization of BALB/c mice with β-tubulin resulted in hair cell loss and hearing loss, effects that were not seen in animals immunized with control peptide. Moreover, the EAHL model showed that β-tubulin responsiveness involved CD4(+) T cells producing IFN-γ, and T cell mediation of EAHL was determined by significantly increased auditory brainstem response after adoptive transfer of β-tubulin-activated CD4(+) T cells into naive BALB/c recipients. The potential mechanisms responsible for the observed pathology of EAHL can be attributed to decreased frequency and impaired suppressive function of regulatory T cells. Our study suggests that EAHL may be a T cell-mediated organ-specific autoimmune disorder of the inner ear. 相似文献
