Article / Publication Details First-Page Preview Abstract The majority of patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS) present with progressive sensorineural hearing loss. [karger.com]

Large vestibular aqueduct syndrome was present in approximately 12% of children who presented with congenital sensorineural hearing loss. [ edit ] Imaging Findings for Large vestibular aqueduct syndrome A dilated vestibular aqueduct can be easily recognized [radswiki.net]

The two most common mutations, T416P and IVS8 1G A, were present in 22% and 30% of families, respectively. [experts.umich.edu]

  • Falling

    "But after a while, they realise there is no solution and they kind of fall away from the whole medical thing. Then, when the child develops a huge goiter, they go to a different doctor to have that worked on. [irishtimes.com]

    According to the boy’s mother, 13 months earlier the child suffered from head injury resulting from a fall from 2.5 m when the boy was playing (fall from the roof of a garage onto a hard surface). [journals.viamedica.pl]

    Estimates fall between as high as 5% to 15% in pediatric patients. Some research claims a slight female preponderance. EVA is also associated with vestibular symptoms in some people. [vestibular.org]

    For example, say a child with EVA sliding down a slide accidentally bumps into his friend at the end, hits his head, and falls down. [audiologyonline.com]

  • Nasal Congestion

    If you have EVA, you can minimize your risk of hearing loss associated with air travel by taking nasal decongestants if you have sinus or nasal congestion, such as during a cold or flu. [nidcd.nih.gov]

  • Normal Hearing

    There were normal hearing thresholds in the right ear. Figure 1 : Pure tone audiogram with normal hearing on the right ear and mixed hearing loss on the left ear Tympanometry indicated normal pressures and compliances of the middle ear bilaterally. [jpss.eu]

    This surgery saved the patient's life, cured the meningitis and brought a recovery of a near normal hearing to the only hearing ear. [cags.org.ae]

    When these are all normal in size they perform together to provide sound waves and nerve signals that allow for movement and gravity detection along with normal hearing and balance. [methodistsouthlake.com]

    The majority of deaf children are born to parents with normal hearing even though most deafness is genetic. [irishtimes.com]

    These organs, together with the nerves that send their signals to the brain, work to create normal hearing and balance. [nidcd.nih.gov]

  • Sudden Hearing Loss

    Just because you have a large vestibular aqueduct, doesn’t mean that you will also automatically have a sudden hearing loss. In one study, the incidence of sudden hearing loss among people with LVAS ranged between 11.8 and 19.1%. [hearinglosshelp.com]

    Conclusion This is an interesting case due to the late discovery of an enlarged endolymphatic sac in a young patient with sudden hearing loss after intense physical activity in school. [jpss.eu]

    Half of the 13 patients with LVA had experienced sudden hearing loss. Similarly, Callison and Horn (1998) found a 5% prevalence of LVA in their clinical population. [asha.org]

    Steroid use for sudden hearing loss associated with EVA has not proven effective. Surgical shunting or removal of the endolymphatic sac is harmful and not considered a treatment option. [vestibular.org]

    Nevertheless, sudden hearing losses in adults related with the presence of enlarged IAC have been described. 23 In our series, Patients 1 and 2 would fall within the group of SNHL lacking other clinical or radiological alterations as evidenced in the [elsevier.es]

  • Vertigo

    This monograph on vertigo is based on the personal, hands-on, practical and clinical experience of managing vertigo in a large university-affiliated hospital. [books.google.de]

    About 50% of patients also experience tinnitus and vertigo. (1) LVAS is readily diagnosed by CT scan of temporal bone. [hkcr.org]

    Recently, EVA has been associated with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) as well as endolymphatic hydrops. Recent research has reported that vestibular dysfunction in persons with EVA is not uncommon. [vestibular.org]

  • Intracranial Hemorrhage

    Pertinent negatives: Based on diffusion weighted imaging and susceptibility weighted imaging, there was neither evidence of an acute/subacute infarct, nor intracranial hemorrhage, respectively. The ventricular system was within normal limits. [radiologytoday.net]

As part of a more comprehensive workup, he was referred for outpatient MRI. Findings A brain and internal auditory canal protocol was utilized given history of chronic hearing loss and dizziness. No prior studies were available for correlation. [radiologytoday.net]

Additional measurements we include in our clinical workup will become very important. [audiologyonline.com]

Prognosis Patients with PDS may have progressive hearing loss, although it is not yet possible to identify these patients in advance. [orpha.net]

Just as the cause(s) of EVA remain unclear, much of what is known about it, e.g. why the hearing loss pattern differs among patients, how many people actually have it, how it causes symptoms, how to effectively treat it, and what the prognosis might be [vestibular.org]

Carrying out an appropriate audiological and aetiological differential diagnosis when faced with this finding can provide greater perisurgical safety and better knowledge of the physiopathology, clinical evolution and prognosis of some SNHLs. [elsevier.es]

We believe that parental stress is reduced and the child's hearing impairment better accepted when we give thorough information on the cause and prognosis of hearing loss for the child and family members. [adc.bmj.com]

Dilated vestibular aqueduct is a common etiology of neurosensory hearing loss. It is diagnosed when the transverse diameter is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm. [advancedradteaching.com]

Although variants in this gene are not the only cause of hearing loss with EVA, SLC26A4 contributes significantly to this etiology. [personalizedmedicine.partners.org]

While there is no cure, early hearing loss detection and care may help prevent total deafness. Hearing loss from vestibular dilation can be detected by MRI, magnetic resonance imaging, or CT, computed tomography, of the inner ear. [methodistsouthlake.com]
