We investigated 90 patients with idiopathic sudden deafness treated in our hospital between 1996 and 2001. Forty-nine were treated with corticosteroids and stellate ganglion block (SGB) with lipo-prostaglandin E1 (Lipo-PGE1).These patients were compared with a control group consisting of 41 patients treated without Lipo-PGE1. The over all recovery rate of the patients treated with Lipo-PGE1 was 70% and this was significantly higher than that of the patients treated without Lipo-PGE1.
