[Otological manifestations of leukemia. Apropos of a clinical case].
The authors describe a clinical case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, showing major leukemic infiltration of the cochlea and the acoustic nerve. The patient however didn't present any otological symptom. A brief literature review is added (clinical aspects, histopathological aspects ...). The authors stress on performing routine audiometric examinations in leukemia, especially in the acute forms of the disease.
