Special manifestations and treatment of rare cases of snoring with special facial features and hearing loss in children
This current case report describes two rare cases of children with both hearing loss and snoring. Case 1, a 17-month-old male patient, and case 2, an 11-year-old male patient, both presented with nasal obstruction, snoring and hearing loss. Physical examinations showed obvious enlargement of the hea...

description | This current case report describes two rare cases of children with both hearing loss and snoring. Case 1, a 17-month-old male patient, and case 2, an 11-year-old male patient, both presented with nasal obstruction, snoring and hearing loss. Physical examinations showed obvious enlargement of the head circumference and special facial features. The two children underwent otolaryngology examinations, endoscopy, hearing tests, laboratory examinations for bone metabolism markers, cranial computed tomography, X-rays and genome-wide exon sequencing. The first case was diagnosed with craniometaphyseal dysplasia, which was relieved after giving a low-calcium diet. The second case was diagnosed with osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis by gene sequencing. Snoring improved after medication and the speech and quality of life improved with a hearing aid. Paediatric otolaryngological physicians need to have a deeper understanding of congenital diseases involving the bones. Only by genetic testing to determine the pathogenesis can those children be given the correct treatment, which is of great importance for improving their prognosis. |
