Polyarteritis nodosa and cochlear implantation

Abstract: Polyarteritis nodosa is a systemic disease which affects the small to medium-sized muscular arteries. Sudden or progressive, bilateral hearing loss is a presenting otologic manifestation. To date, no case of cochlear implantation in patients with polyarteritis nodosa has been reported. The authors present a case of polyarteritis nodosa (confirmed by biopsy) in a 71-year-old man with progressive, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who underwent cochlear implantation. A successful full insertion of the Nucleus… Show more

“…This reinforces the impression that the lesion is located at the cochlear level. In this group of patients with PAN and profound bilateral hearing loss, this may be secondary to labyrinthine ischemia by a vascular phenomenon [24]. Kawasaki disease (KD) is a diffuse necrotizing vasculitis involving medium-sized vessels, with almost constant injury of the coronary arteries and large non-intraparenchymatous arteries.…”
