Abstract

The use of microcomputer for the Brain-Stem Response Audiometry was discussed. The obtained results using the computer system, the methodology and technique of hearing examination were presented. Special attention was called to modelling aspects of the components of the registered signal and the instability of generators in the neuronal structures of the acoustic pathway.

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency with kernicterus: progressive late recovery from profound deafness.

In this case report a near-term infant with Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6-PD) deficiency had an unconjugated bilirubin level of 703 on the 11th day of life but maintained his haemoglobin levels above 11 gm/dl. At 4 months of age he demonstrated the clinical picture of Kernicterus: profound sensorineural deafness and evidence of encephalopathy. However, by 15 months of age his abnormal cerebral and motor signs had regressed to a near-normal level in parallel with a gradual improvement in hearing, which also reached normal levels, first in the right ear, then in the left. At this age residual mental retardation has not been excluded but his communication skills, though delayed by 4-6 months, were moving towards the level when they would be appropriate for his age.

Otologic manifestations of Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome.

OBJECTIVE: To determine if haploinsufficiency for chromosome 4p16.3 in Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is associated with cochlear hearing loss. DESIGN: Case series. SETTING: Tertiary care center. PATIENTS: Six patients with WHS were identified through a database and charts were retrospectively reviewed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Presence of sensorineural hearing loss as assessed by brainstem auditory evoked response. RESULTS: One of the 6 patients had sensorineural hearing loss. Three of the 6 patients had chronic otitis media with effusion and underwent bilateral tympanostomy tube placement; 2 of these 3 had cleft lip and palate, and 1 had a bifid uvula. One of the 6 patients had spontaneous nystagmus. Five of the 6 patients had preauricular and/or auricular abnormalities. CONCLUSIONS: More than 25 genes for nonsyndromic hereditary hearing impairment have been mapped. One of these genes, DFNA6, was identified through linkage analysis of a family with dominant, progressive, low-frequency sensorineural hearing loss. DFNA6 maps to chromosome 4p16.3, a region that is partially deleted in patients with WHS. In our series, we identified the second patient with WHS in the literature with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The incidence and type of otologic findings are consistent with those reported in the literature. Analysis of patients with chromosomal rearrangements represents one strategy toward identifying candidate genes for genetic hearing impairment.
