| Popis: | The Ductus Arteriosus is a connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery. The essential foetal structure closes instantly after the birth. If the ductus arteriosus fails to close after the birth it is considered to be an abnormal.To date, there are very few studies which have reported hearing loss as an associated feature of Patent Ductus Arteriosus. Disruption of blood supply to the auditory system is reported to be a possible cause for hearing loss in children with Patent Ductus Arteriosus. Autosomal recessive inheritance has also been found to play a vital role in the genetic predisposition of Patent Ductus Arteriosus and hearing loss. Here in we report a 3 year old female child with a confirmed diagnosis of Patent Ductus Arteriosus associated with gross developmental delay, hearing loss and bilateral cataract.“Hearing loss thus seems to co-exist in children with Patent Ductus Arteriosus which in turn warrants detailed audiological assessment in every patient with Patent Ductus Arteriosus to facilitate development of regular speech and language development” |
