Vestibular Aqueducts and Hearing Loss by Ghada Wageih is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Congenital deafness occurs in around 1 in 1000-2000 births, with autosomal recessive inheritance being the most common form. 5-15% of children with sensorineural hearing loss have an enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA). 2. CT scans and MRIs are often used to identify EVA, which may predispose individuals to fluctuating or progressive sensorineural hearing loss. This study aims to estimate the percentage of EVA in children with non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss and correlate EVA size with hearing
