Abstract:
Sporadic reports of inner ear dysfunction associated with autoimmune disorders such as polyarteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosus, Cogan's disease, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis have appeared over the years, although the basis of such events was unknown. In recent years, presumable pathogenesis of immune-mediated sensorineural deafness and vestibular dysfunction has been reported and immunosuppressive therapy in patients with suspected autoimmune inner ear disease is highly suggested. We report a case of immune-mediated sensorineural hearing loss with ankylosing spondylitis, which responded to steroid therapy.
