Sensorineural hearing loss of suspected autoimmune etiology: a report of three cases
Abstract
The present paper reports three cases of sensorineural hearing loss of suspected autoimmune origin. Cases 1 and 2 were bilateral sensorineural hearing loss which responded to steroid therapy. Case 3 was bilateral fluctuant sensorineural hearing loss in conjunction with systemic lupus erythematosus. The pathogenesis of autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss is not yet fully understood. In two patients, hearing levels improved or stabilized following the use of osmotic expanders. The clinical results suggest that endolymphatic hydrops may participate in autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss.
