Frecuencia de la afección auditiva y los factores asociados en pacientes con artritis idiopática juvenil

Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is a rare, but treatable cause of sudden sensorineural hearing loss in children. Most cases present acutely and involve both ears. The precise mechanism of hearing loss in AIED is not known. Many suspected etiologies have been proposed including infections, vascular abnormalities, and trauma. However, 70% of cases are defined as idiopathic. There are no standardized diagnostic criteria for AIED, and the diagnostic process may be challenging. Positive auto antibodies and response to immunosuppressive therapy support the diagnosis. Treatment may include corticosteroids and steroid-sparing immunosuppressive medications. A high index of suspicion is recommended as the hearing loss may be stabilized or even reversed with early treatment. Long-term medical treatment failures generally have good outcomes with cochlear implantation. [ Pediatr Ann. 2019;48(10):e391–e394.]
