[Multiple sclerosis and unilateral deafness].
A girl complained of unilateral hearing loss, vertigo, and ipsilateral symptoms of trigeminal and facial involvement. Negative neuroradiological evaluation, C.S.F. study and clinical outcome allowed to retain the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (M.S.). Unilateral abnormalities were recorded on the auditory evoked potentials, localizing the lesion immediately after the auditory fibers enter the brain stem. An unilateral hearing loss does not rule out M.S. in vertigo syndromes, and auditory evoked responses are a diagnosis aid.
