Abstract
Autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss is a syndrome with an immunological mechanism occasionally associated with diverse autoimmune diseases. We describe a case of sensorineural hearing loss in a patient with ulcerative colitis. Several pathogenic mechanisms have been invoked. Treatment is steroid therapy and should be initiated when symptoms appear to restore hearing.Entities:
