Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a multisystem syndrome involving multiple congenital anomaly, growth retardation, and neurodevelopmental delay.
We reviewed seven patients with CdLS to evaluate their hearing levels, and otolaryngologic symptoms. Four patients had stenosis of the external auditory canals. Four were suffering from otitis media with effusion. We measured ABR in seven patients, which showed severe bilateral hearing loss in two, severe and moderate loss in one, moderate bilateral loss in two, moderate and mild loss in one, and mild bilateral loss in one patient. Although we attempted to fit hearing aids, the patients had difficulty tolerating the devices.
