Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome in the Pediatric Population

Abstract

Overall, audiometric thresholds remained generally stable, with sudden deterioration of hearing after head trauma seen in only three male patients. Progression of hearing loss after head trauma was not a significant finding in our patient population. Vestibular aqueduct opercular size alone showed a direct correlation with the audiometric outcome. Borderline enlarged vestibular aqueduct measurements appear to be associated with sensorineural hearing loss.
