Susac Syndrome

BACKGROUND: Susac syndrome (retino-cochleo-cerebral vasculopathy, SuS) is an autoimmune endotheliopathy characterized by the clinical triad of encephalopathy, branch retinal artery occlusions and sensorineural hearing loss. In contrast to data regarding auditory function, data measuring vestibular function is sparse and the cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs). OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the video head impulse test (vHIT) can serve as a confirmatory assessment of vestibulocochlear dysfunction in cases of suspected SuS. METHODS: Seven patients diagnosed with SuS underwent pure tone audiometry, a word recognition test, cVEMPs and the vHIT. RESULTS: Five patients were diagnosed with definite SuS, and two with probable SuS. Two patients were asymptomatic for hearing loss or tinnitus, and no sensorineural hearing loss was detected by audiograms. Four patients complained of tinnitus, and three patients reported experiencing vertigo. Three patients had abnormal cVEMPs results. All seven patients’ vHIT results were normal, except for patient #2, who was one of the three who complained of vertigo. The calculated gain of her left anterior semicircular canal was 0.5, without saccades. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to describe the results of the vHIT and cVEMPs among a group of patients with SuS. The results suggest that the vHIT should not be the only exam used to assess the function of the vestibular system of SuS patients.

Delayed Complication

Delayed and reversible hearing loss occurred in a 55-year-old male patient with murine typhus infection. The patient had the initial symptoms of headache, fever and chills, followed by the occurrence of bilateral hearing loss on day 9 from fever onset. Murine typhus was diagnosed with a high IgM titre by indirect immunofluorescence assay. After treatment with azithromycin and prednisolone, the fever and other symptoms subsided gradually and bilateral hearing loss improved 3 weeks later. Though an adverse reaction to azithromycin could not be ruled out, delayed onset of hearing loss was more likely a complication of murine typhus, mainly because the hearing loss did not occur during the azithromycin usage period. Although hearing loss due to murine typhus is rare, clinicians should be alert to the existence of such a delayed complication.

Auditory Verbal Therapy

Profound hearing loss can have serious and irreversible consequences for oral language development in children, affecting spoken and written language acquisition. Auditory-verbal therapy has been widely applied to children with hearing loss with promising results, mainly in developed countries where cochlear implants are available. An evaluation was done of auditory perception in 25 children 5 to 8 years of age, with profound hearing loss, users of 4- or 5-channel hearing aids, and enrolled in a personalized auditory-verbal therapy program. Regarding initial auditory perception skills, children performed better on the Noises and Sounds block than on the Language block. By subscales, top performance was observed for auditory analysis (Noises and Sounds) and auditory recognition (Language). A series of t-tests showed that significant improvement after Auditory-verbal therapy occurred in global scores for Noises and Sounds and for Language blocks, regardless of sex, urban or rural community origin, nuclear or extended family. The study provides evidence of deficiencies in auditory in children with profound bilateral hearing loss and how this might improve after receiving Auditory-verbal therapy. Nevertheless, the descriptive study design prevents conclusions regarding the effectiveness of the therapy. Subsequent research must take into account intrinsic and environmental factors that might play a mediating role in the benefits of Auditory-verbal therapy for auditory perception.
