Abstract

This paper reports an unusual case in which aseptic meningitis presented with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) associated with intralabyrinthine haemorrhage (ILH). A seven-year-old girl presented with sudden right-sided hearing loss with dizziness. She did not have a previous history of bleeding disorders. This child was assessed using audiograms and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient's hearing loss was irreversible. Steroid therapy was not effective. SSNHL associated with ILH can be one of the negative prognostic factors in children.
