1 Congenital Hearing Loss
Ashley Starkweather, MD UCLA Head and Neck Surgery February 25, 2009

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

9 Usher

10 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.
(a) Modiolus is not discernible (short arrow). Vestibular aqueduct (arrowheads) and vestibule (long arrow) are enlarged. (b) Interscalar septum between upper and middle turn of the cochlea is absent (arrow).

12 Jervell and Lange Nielsen
Congenital profound SNHL Prolonged QT interval with syncope, sudden death Gene mutation: KVKQT1 = abnormal K+ channel Dx: EKG Tx: Beta blockers, hearing aids

13 Goldenhar Syndrome First and second arch derivatives, hemifacial

21 Treacher Collins

22 Apert Syndrome (Acrocephalosyndactyly)
Middle and inner ear affected Stapes fixation (CHL), patent cochlear aqueduct, large subarcuate fossa Hand syndactyly, midface abnormalities, craniofacial dysostosis, trapezoid mouth

23 Apert

24 Crouzon Syndrome (craniofacial dysostosis)

25 Crouzon

26 Stickler Syndrome Progressive Arthro-Ophthalmopathy
Progressive SNHL (80%) Marfanoid body habitus Severe myopia, retinal detachment Flat midface Hypermobile joints Pierre Robin sequence: micrognathia, glossoptosis, cleft palate

27 Neurofibromatosis NF-1 (Von Recklinghausen Disease)
Café au lait spots, neurofibromas, Lisch nodules, 5% risk of unilateral acoustic neuroma NF-1 gene on Chr 17 NF-2 (central neurofibromatosis) Bilateral acoustic neuromas or unilateral with 1st degree relative with NF-2 or multiple central schwannomas NF-2 gene Chr 22q12 (tumor suppressor gene mutation)

28 NF-1

29 Branchio-oto-renal (Melnick Fraser Syndrome)
Renal abnormalities: mild hypoplasia to bilateral aplasia Branchial cleft cyts Preauricular pits EYA1 on Chr 8q13 Hearing loss: Penetrance: 80% Mixed: 50% Conductive: 30% SNHL: 20%

30 X-linked Disorders Alport’s syndrome Otopalatal-digital
Norrie syndrome

31 Alport’s Syndrome X-linked 80%, autosomal dominant 20%

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
