Patients with LSCC malformation was noted in 0.42% of all SSNHL cases during the same period. One patients had bilateral SSNHL and the rest had unilateral SSNHL. Of them, eight and six patients had unilateral and bilateral LSCC malformations, respectively. Flat hearing loss was noted in 12 ears (80.0%) and severe or profound hearing loss was noted in 10 ears (66.7%). After treatment, the total efficacy rate of SSNHL with LSCC malformation was 40.0%. Vestibular function was abnormal in all patients, but only five patients (35.7%) had dizziness. There were statistically significant differences in the vestibular functions between patients with LSCC malformation and matched patients without the malformation hospitalized during the same period (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients with SSNHL and LSCC malformation had flat-type and severe hearing loss and worse disease prognosis compared to those with SSNHL without LSCC malformation. Vestibular function is more likely to be abnormal; however, there was no significant difference in vestibular symptoms between patients with and without LSCC malformation. LSCC is a risk factor for the prognosis of SSNHL.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2023.1174412","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,2]],"date-time":"2023-06-02T14:24:05Z","timestamp":1685715845000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Prognostic changes after sudden deafness in patients with inner ear malformations characterized by LSCC: a retrospective study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Lei","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qinglei","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Na","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haibo","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingming","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"211","DOI":"10.3174\/ajnr.A2498","article-title":"Pediatric sensorineural hearing loss, part 1: practical aspects for neuroradiologists","volume":"33","author":"Huang","year":"2012","journal-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"741","DOI":"10.1242\/dev.11.4.741","article-title":"The early development of the otic vesicle in staged human embryos","volume":"11","author":"O'Rahilly","year":"1963","journal-title":"J Embryol Exp Morphol"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"683","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.323115073","article-title":"CT and MR imaging of the inner ear and brain in children with congenital sensorineural hearing loss","volume":"32","author":"Joshi","year":"2012","journal-title":"Radiographics"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"788","DOI":"10.1097\/01.mao.0000231596.87842.42","article-title":"Lateral semicircular canal and vertigo in patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome","volume":"27","author":"Ishida","year":"2006","journal-title":"Otol Neurotol"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"S1","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599819859885","article-title":"Clinical practice guideline: sudden hearing loss (update)","volume":"161","author":"Chandrasekhar","year":"2019","journal-title":"Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"443","DOI":"10.3760\/cma.j.issn.1673-0860.2015.06.002","article-title":"Society of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Chinese Medical Association.
