Hypothesizing the Role of Renal Secondary Hypertension in Ischemic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A aase Report

Prasanna V, Kishan M M, Ranjana Elizabeth James

Abstract :

Understanding the pathophysiology of Ischemic sudden sensorineural he� loss (ISSNHL) continues to be an enigma. With numerous probable etiologies cited and many hypotheses attempting to explain the pathophysiology, it is quite essential to understand the stand of various theories for the management of the condition. The widely believed etiology being vascular abnormalities in the microcirculatory cochlear structures throws a light for further understanding which is required to explain the recovery in cases of sudden sensorineural he� loss. This case report is an evidence of sudden sensorineural he� loss associated with chronic renal condition of Cystitis Glandularis, assumed to have had a vascular cause owing to hypertension secondary to chronic renal disease and recovered significantly with the right treatment.
