Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To review and explore the clinical characteristics, acoustic features, early diagnosis and prognosis of epidemic parotitis being accompanied by acute pancreatitis and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).
METHOD:Report and analysis the clinical data of a patient with epidemic parotitis being accompanied by acute pancreatitis and sensorineural hearing loss and review the relevant literatures.
RESULT:Epidemic parotitis virus could produce lesion in more than one organ resulting in the corresponding complications. It was uncommon when a patient presented epidemic parotitis, acute pancreatitis and sensorineural hearing loss at the same time. Unilaterally total hearing loss was the most common type of the SNHL, and the prognosis was bad.
CONCLUSION:Epidemic parotitis can be accompanied by one or more complication, including SNHL. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) is of great value in early diagnosis of SNHL in patients with epidemic parotitis.
