Audiovestibular manifestations of the antiphospholipid syndrome

Abstract: We report on two patients who have high titres of antiphospholipid antibodies, both of whom had acute audiovestibular failure. One of the patients had systemic lupus erythematosus. The other patient had primary antiphospholipid syndrome: audiovestibular symptoms have not been reported in this condition. The occurrence of acute audiovestibular failure in the primary antiphospholipid syndrome raises the question as to whether patients presenting with acute deafness or vestibular disturbance should be screened fo… Show more

“…Auditory and vestibular disorders in autoimmune disease have been observed previously [15,22,26,38,39], and isolated bilateral auditory and vestibular failure has been reported as a presenting feature of Cogan's syndrome [27], polyarteritis nodosa [32] and the antiphospholid syndrome [43]. Moreover, sudden and sequential bilateral hearing loss has been reported in systemic lupus erythematosus, but vestibular function was not assessed [9].…”

“…A perda auditiva neurossensorial subclínica tem sido descrita em mais de 22% dos pacientes com LES por alguns investigadores. Deficiência audiovestibular aguda também tem sido descrita na síndrome do anticorpo antifosfolípide primária (2)(3)(4)(5) . Existe uma evidência bibliográfica que sugere a forte associação entre perda auditiva neurossensorial e insuficiência aórtica aguda, uma rara manifestação do LES (4) .…”

“…Não há correlação entre o estado da doença ou a presença do fator antinúcleo (FAN) com o aparecimento da perda auditiva neurossensorial. A administração de antiinflamatórios não-hormonais e antimaláricos, prática clínica comum em pacientes com LES, tem sido associada à perda auditiva neurossensorial (2)(3)(4)(5) . A perda auditiva neurossensorial de média e alta freqüências tem sido descrita em pacientes com esclerose sistêmica (ES).…”

“…Abortos de repetição são freqüentes, associados a trombocitopenia O anticoagulante e/ou anticorpo anticardiolipina positivos em níveis moderados ou altos são encontrados 10,12,13 . O acometimento audiovestibular talvez ocorra por lesões vasculares na artéria auditiva interna, podendo levar a sintomas cocleares e vestibulares isolados ou associados.…”
