PReS-FINAL-2220: Cochlear involvement in FMF

Introduction FMF is a monogenic autoinflammatory disease with recurring episodes of fever and serositis attacks. FMF is associated with mutations in pyrin. On the other hand mutations in a molecule in the same pathway, cryopyrin, is characterized by inflammatory features involving the inner ear as well. A study has suggested the involvement of cochlea in Behçet disease, which is a polygenic aut...

Inner Ear Involvement in Children with Familial Mediterranean Fever

OBJECTIVE: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common and best understood disease of hereditary periodic fever syndromes. Various degrees of sensorineural hearing loss can be seen in the progression of some hereditary periodic fever syndromes. There are very limited and controversial studies in the literature with regard to hearing loss in patients diagnosed with FMF. We aimed to eva...

P01-045 – Epilepsy in Armenian children with FMF

Methods We observed 2300 patients with FMF (1408 boys and 892 girls; mean age: 8.86±0.29) in the National Pediatric Centre for FMF. Diagnosis of FMF was based on Tel-Hashomer criteria and MEFV genetic analysis. The epilepsy was diagnosed based on clinical manifestations (>2 unprovoked epileptic seizures),neurological history, exam, EEG and MRI. The statistical analysis was performed using Epi-I...
