“…In mumps, the abnormality is usually unilateral and limited to the membranous part of the cochlear with dilatation of the cochlear duct and saccule as in Scheibe deformity [10]. However, deafness due to other viruses, such as common cold and influenza have been documented [11,24]. Rubella has been reported to cause anatomic and teratogenic anomalies ranging from complete absence of the inner ear to mondini deformity [12,13,22,23].…”

“…Rubella has been reported to cause anatomic and teratogenic anomalies ranging from complete absence of the inner ear to mondini deformity [12,13,22,23]. Sensorineural hearing loss secondary to longstanding otitis media was reported to be due to extension of infection through the cochlear aqueduct or internal auditory meatus or erosion of the labyrinth by associated, acquired or congenital cholesteatoma [14,15,24,25]. The cases in which there were no identifiable aetiologic factor may be due to a progressive hereditary deafness.…”

“…Cochleo-saccular degeneration occurs as a result of developmental defects (Schuknecht et a l, 1965) aging and infection such as maternal rubella (Lindsay et al, 1953;Alford, 1968). The endorgans of utricle and semicircular canals are morphologically and functionally not involved.…”

This is a report of cochleo-saccular degeneration found in temporal bones from a patient who had suffered from slowly progressive and total sensorineural deafness which had an inherited origin. At age 8, this patient began to complain of hearing loss, and by age 10 she was totally deaf. The patient was 1 of 3 female siblings who have suffered from an exactly identical progressive disease: deafness, absent gastric motility, small bowel diverticulitis and ulceration, and sensory neuropathy. The temporal bone pathology found in this case was the degenerative change in the cochlear duct and sacculus. No pathology was found in the utriculus and semicircular canals.

“…Inner-ear deafness and dizziness, right ear, secondary to chronic secretory otitis media, thought to be due to virus infection. 4. After recovery under therapy which was con¬ tinued for two years, there was a sudden onset of partial inner-ear deafness, right ear, associated with an upper respiratory infection probably due to a virus.…”
