A particular case of deafness-oligodontia syndrome

Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol. 1998 Jun 1;44(1):63-9. doi: 10.1016/s0165-5876(98)00029-9.

Abstract

Two previous case reports described two sibs affected with both sensorineural hearing loss and oligodontia. Here, we report a similar syndrome in a male patient with an, as yet, undescribed vestibular aqueduct enlargement on tomodensitometry. The analysis of the parent's audiograms is consistent with the suggested autosomal recessive mode of inheritance of this disorder.
