2
Etiology Congenital HL Childhood Onset HL 50% Genetic 50% Acquired
25% Unknown
3
Genetic HL 75% non-syndromal 25% syndromal
75% autosomal recessive (AR) 25% autosomal dominant (AD) 1-2% X-linked Rare mitochondrial
4
Autosomal recessive HL
Monogenic, 25% risk to offspring if both parents are carriers Severe to profound SNHL, prelingual onset
5
Autosomal recessive syndromal HL
Usher syndrome Pendred Jervel and Lange Nielsen Goldenhar (Oculoauriculoverterbral spectrum)
6
Usher Syndrome Retinitis pimentosa and SNHL
Night blindness > field cut > central blindness Most common cause of congenital deafness Dx: electroretinography
7
Usher Types Type I (most common): Type II:
Profound SNHL, no vestibular fxn RP onset in early childhood Atypical myosin (myosin 7A): interferes with mechanoelectrical transduction in labyrinthine hair cells Type II: Congenital sloping SNHL Normal vestibular fxn RP onset in teens
8
Usher Types Type III: Type IV:
Progressive SNHL and vestibular dysfunction Vestibulocerebellar ataxia Type IV: Mental retardation and hypotonia

Pendred Syndrome Defect in tyrosine iodination
Gene mutation: affects pendrin, molecule involved in chloride-iodine transport Sx: severe to profound SNHL, multinodular goiter in childhood Assoc with Mondini malformation and enlarged vestibular aqueduct Dx: (+) perchlorate test Tx: thyroid hormone to suppress goiter
11
Transverse CT scans of the middle ear in a 47-year-old patient with Pendred syndrome.

49
Schiebe Aplasia AR Partial or complete aplasia of pars inferior (cochlea and saccule), normal pars superior (SCC and utricle) Defect of membranous labyrinth only, therefore can not diagnose on CT
