title: [Sphenoidal sinus polyp-cyst as casual finding in a patient with severe and sudden retrocochlear hearing loss].
abstract: We present the case of a 56 years old female controlled in our ENT Department because of right sudden hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo. The endoscopic exam was normal. Audiogram showed a severe neurosensorial hypoacusia and PEATC confirmed the so called hypoacusia suggesting a retrocochlear origin of it. As imaging tests an otic-craneal CT and IRM were asked for, which informed of the presence of a cystic lesion versus polyp in sphenoidal sinus of 15 x 10 mm without other alterations or significant pathology.
