[Cochlear hemorrhage. Unusual cause of sudden sensorineural deafness].
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) caused by intralabyrinthine hemorrhage is a rare entity usually associated to patients with previous pathological factors, such as blood dyscrasias, anticoagulant therapy and local hemorrhagic pathologies. We report the first-published case of sudden-onset deafness due to cochlear hemorrhage in a patient with no previous pathologies. We describe the history, diagnosis and follow-up of this patient in comparison to others previously published.
