Abstract
SCHERLE-MATAMOROS, Claudio E. and UBEDA-SANCHEZ, María Yolanda. Unilateral Vestibulocochlear nerve aplasia. Rev Ecuat Neurol [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.1, pp.122-124. ISSN 2631-2581. https://doi.org/10.46997/revecuatneurol31100122.
Introduction:
Vestibulo Cochlear aplasia is an embryological defect in the formation of the inner ear that causes a sensorineural hearing loss. We report the case of an 8 year-old boy with left sided hearing loss, not previously detected. On neurological examination, a hearing loss in the left ear was found. Through imaging studies, the diagnosis is confirmed.
Conclusion:
When hearing loss is suspected, imaging studies are the ideal method for detecting pathological findings in the inner ear.
Keywords : hearing; inner ear; cochlear aplasia.
