title: [One case of a pregnant femal taking realgar induceing congenital inner ear malformation].
abstract: A pregnant female taken realgar because of superstition, which caused the baby congenital deafness. Auditory test indicated that bilateral auditory brainstem response (ABR) hearing threshold level was greater than 90 dB nHL and auditory steady state response (ASSR) hearing level ranging from 0.5 kHz to 4 kHz was beyond 110 dB HL. Temporal bone CT showed that bilateral cochlear and semicircular canal malformations, with internal auditory canal broadened.
