Abstract
A 65-year-old man developed bilateral sensoryneural deafness in 1972. He complained of fatiguability, headache, and fullness of the head since 1963. Laboratory examination revealed hyperplasia of all the cellular elements of the bone marrow, and elevation of the red blood cell count and hemoglobin level. He was diagnosed polycythemia vera and treated with phlebotomies and intravenous injection of P32. His audiogram was improved in 1973 associated with the reduction of red blood cells.
