متن کاملAutoimmune inner ear disease: diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in a multidisciplinary setting.
Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease (AIED) is a clinical syndrome of uncertain pathogenesis. It is associated with bilateral rapidly progressive hearing loss. The hearing loss may be associated with vestibular symptoms. Autoimmunity has been proposed as the pathogenesis of this sort of hearing loss, although the mechanism of the disease is poorly understood. It is well accepted that the endolymphatic ...
متن کاملExtraintestinal Crohn's disease mimicking autoimmune inner ear disease: a histopathological approach.
Patients with autoimmune inner ear disease develop rapidly progressive sensorineural hearing loss over a period of several weeks or months, often accompanied by vestibular loss. This disease can occur as a distinct clinical entity or in association with an underlying autoimmune disorder. Treatment comprises immunosuppression by corticosteroids, cytostatic drugs or tumor necrosis factor-α antago...
متن کاملSudden Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss Associated with HLA A1-B8-DR3 Haplotype
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss may be present as a symptom in systemic autoimmune diseases or may occur as a primary disorder without another organ involvement (autoimmune inner ear disease). The diagnosis of autoimmune inner ear disease is still predicated on clinical features, and to date specific diagnostic tests are not available. We report a case of bilateral sudden hearing loss, tinnit...
