Neuro-otological manifestations in Fabry disease-a  retrospective single center study

CONCLUSION: Hearing loss is a potential symptom of Fabry disease and is not limited to the classic male phenotype. Due to possible positive correlations with neurological and cardiological manifestations of the disease, routine ENT screening examinations should be carried out to be able to identify and treat neuro-otological deficits at an early stage. In addition, FD should also be considered and tested as a differential diagnosis, especially in younger patients with sudden unilateral or bilateral hearing loss and a family history.PMID:37747492 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-023-01360-4
