Correlation of vestibular aqueduct size with air-bone gap in enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Patients with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) often demonstrate an air-bone gap (ABG) at low frequencies on audiometric testing. The mechanism for this has not been well elucidated. We investigated vestibular aqueduct (VA) size and ABG in patients with EVA, and assessed the relationship between VA diameter and ABG. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. METHODS We asses...
متن کاملLarge vestibular aqueduct syndrome.
A large vestibular aqueduct is one of the commonest radiological abnormalities of the inner ear. A case of acute profound unilateral sensorineural hearing loss and balance disturbance following minor head trauma in the presence of an abnormally enlarged vestibular aqueduct is described. The significance of a diagnosis of large vestibular aqueduct syndrome, in the presence of serviceable hearing...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical, audiological, radiological, and genetic features of a group of patients affected with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen patients affected with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS), diagnosed by means of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging of the inner ear, with 3-dimensional reconstruction...
متن کاملLarge vestibular aqueduct syndrome: a case study.
A 23-month-old female was referred for hearing aid fitting after failing newborn hearing screening and being diagnosed with significant hearing loss through subsequent diagnostic testing. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) and behavioral testing revealed a moderate-to-severe bilateral mixed hearing loss. Prior to the hearing aid evaluation, tympanostomy tubes had been placed bilaterally with lit...
متن کاملCochlear implant and large vestibular aqueduct syndrome in children.
UNLABELLED Children with LVAS can develop a severe sensorineural hearing loss early in childhood, but they can be rehabilitated with hearing aids to continue their regular studies and to have a normal life. The problem is that they can deteriorate their hearing capacity, and at this point a cochlear implant can be used to preserve their hearing skills and vocalization. AIM to evaluate the hea...
