Abstract
Objective: Describe the clinical and therapeutic aspects of WOLFRAM syndrome (DIDMOAD) presenting with deafness.
Materials and Methods: We report the case of a 21-year-old man who presented with a WOLFRAM syndrome associated with a tympanic perforation. '
Clinical Case: This is a 21-year-old R.Y from a consanguineous marriage (first cousin 1st degree) Due to the association of symptoms (type 1 diabetes, urinary and ophthalmologic signs), genetic counseling was sought to confirm WOLFRAM syndrome.
Conclusion: Since sensorineural hearing loss can be the first symptom of SW, audiologists, and otolaryngologists should be vigilant in referring patients with hearing loss for an ophthalmic examination.
