ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The term static encephalopathy is a phrase used by neurologists for chronic nonprogressive brain disorders in children, primarily cerebral palsy and mental retardation. As defined by Seals, static encephalopathy is permanent or unchanging brain damage. Depending on the severity of the damage and the part of the brain involved, development changes can vary. The aim of the present study was to use multiple tests, including behavioural, physiological, electrophysiological, and radiological evaluations, to analyse the hearing of a case with static encephalopathy.
Case report:
The current study describes a 3 year old male child who was brought in with a complaint of having reduced hearing sensitivity in both ears for more than 1 year. The subject had no family or medical history which could directly or indirectly have an impact on auditory system, directly or indirectly. Previous audiological evaluation had revealed bilateral severe to profound hearing loss. Radiological evaluation revealed structural abnormalities.
Conclusions:
The patient presented in this case study had gone through multiple tests including Behavioural, Physiological, Electrophysiological and Radiological evaluation. All the evaluation leads to the conclusion that static encephalopathy can lead to sensorineural hearing loss.
