Aortoarteritis and sensorineural hearing loss in an adolescent black male

J Clinton Smith et al. Am J Otolaryngol. 2004 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

We describe an adolescent male having sudden onset of sensorineural hearing loss. Evaluation led to the discovery of marked aortoarteritis. This patient exhibited findings of both Takayasu arteritis and Cogan syndrome. This report emphasizes the importance of ensuring a thorough systemic evaluation in individuals having sudden hearing loss.
