[Macrosomia and auditory abilities: a comparative study].
BACKGROUND
Macrosomia is the positive deviation of normal growing standards.


OBJECTIVE
Due to the lack of studies related to the auditory abilities in macrosomic syndromes, the aim of the present study was to verify and compare the auditory abilities of two patients and to correlate these results with other complementary findings.


METHODS
Anamneses, hearing, language, psychologic and neuroimage evaluation in two female subjects, eight and seventeen years old.


RESULTS
Subject I - normal; subject II - impaired.


CONCLUSIONS
There is a growing need for more investigations of the neurophysiology of the auditory system in this population. Studies in the area of hearing can favor the early diagnosis and therefore the intervention process.
