- Abstract
Hereditary hearing loss accounts for nearly 60% of deafness in developed countries and about 30% of them are syndromic. Pierre Robin Syndrome is one such condition. The patient with this syndrome usually presnts with triad of micrognathia, glossoptosis and cleft palate. Hearing loss is mostly conductive but there can be sensorineural hearing loss also. Here we present a case of Pierre Robin Syndrome who presented with congenital hearing loss. He also had bilateral serous otitis media. He underwent cochlear implant surgery and was prescribed antihistaminics and steroid spray for middle ear effusion. Therefore, proper clinical evaluation is required.
