Thickened Earlobes-Conductive Deafness Syndrome
Escher-Hirt Syndrome

Presentation

The present paper describes a case of WS associated with bilateral conductive hearing loss which was not related to secretory otitis media. Hyperacusis was, moreover, present in spite of the conductive deafness. [link.springer.com]

A number of pathologies can present with this finding, including labyrinthitis, ischemia, and intralabyrinthine schwannomas. Vertigo is typically a prominent presenting symptom along with SNHL. [appliedradiology.com]

It is difficult to diagnose because the disease presents like other chronic suppurative otitis media. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Otitis media without infection presents a special problem because symptoms of pain and fever are usually not present. Therefore, weeks and even months can go by before parents suspect a problem. [asha.org]

Fifty-three loci have presently been reported. The 17 deafness forms for which the genes have been identified are presented. [ommbid.mhmedical.com]

Workup

This article reviews the pertinent anatomy of hearing, clinical workup of acquired hearing loss, and the radiologic appearance of common entities that cause acquired hearing loss. [appliedradiology.com]

Treatment

Name withheld, April 2018 A massive relief to have a correct diagnosis after 10 years or more treatment. We are obviously concerned about the forthcoming treatment but grateful to finally see an end in sight. [earsandhearinguk.com]

Treatment Treatment consists of management of the underlying problem and aggressive local debridement. Topical and systemic antifungals are used as needed. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The only treatment that has proved effective (supported by double-blind trials) is corticosteroid treatment-usually Prednisone or Prednisolone. [hearinglosshelp.com]

Surgical or prosthetic treatment of hearing loss was delayed because of hyperacusis. Treatment of the hyperacusis by acoustic training, instead, yielded excellent, long-lasting remission of the symptoms. [link.springer.com]

As such, we want to celebrate it.” – Katie Treatment Options: Do nothing. [clapa.com]

Prognosis

In patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis, unifocal disease has good prognosis and responds well to local treatment. Multifocal disease also responds well to the treatment. Disseminated disease has a bad prognosis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

It occurs in fulminant acute pancreatitis and carries a grave prognosis. [kumc.edu]

Etiology

Etiology : Autosomal dominant inheritance in some cases [6]. Pathogenesis : unknown. [sonoworld.com]

Among the fungi, the species of Aspergillus are considered the predominant organisms implicated in the etiology of otomycosis in tropical countries. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The etiology is a congenital malformation that causes abnormal communication between the perilymphatic space and the subarachnoid space. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

Association of COL1A1 and otosclerosis: evidence for a shared genetic etiology with mild osteogenesis imperfecta. Am J Otol 19:604–610. McKenna MJ, Kristiansen AG, Haines J. 1996. [dizziness-and-balance.com]

Decreased ventricular compliance is the most common etiology of S4 sound. ETIOLOGIES: Left-Sided: hypertension, aortic stenosis, angina pectoris. Right-Sided: pulmonary hypertension, pulmonic stenosis. [kumc.edu]

Epidemiology

Chapters on epidemiology, embryology, non-syndromic hearing loss, and syndromic forms of hearing loss have all been updated with particular attention to the vast amount of new information on molecular mechanisms, and chapters on clinical and molecular [books.google.com]

From the molecular data presently available, three main epidemiologic results emerge: (a) Mutations in the gene encoding a gap junction protein, connexin 26, account for about half of the cases of prelingual isolated deafness in Caucasian populations; [ommbid.mhmedical.com]

Pathophysiology

Each form is introduced by a brief history of how the gene was discovered, followed by the description of its clinical features and the established or putative role of the encoded protein, as well as the current hypotheses concerning the associated pathophysiological [ommbid.mhmedical.com]

Prevention

IS EXOSTOSIS PREVENTABLE? Exostosis is preventable by following some basic safety precautions. [californiaearinstitute.com]

Any obstruction can prevent sounds from passing through the middle ear and cause hearing loss. A buildup of wax, fluid in the middle ear, or a hole in the ear drum can each cause conductive hearing loss. [starkey.com]

Presbycusis can be prevented but once it occurs it joins the stable of other causes of sensorineural hearing loss and becomes permanent. [tinnitusformula.com]

How Can I Prevent Hearing Loss? Not all cases of hearing loss are preventable. [healthline.com]
