ABSTRACT
Aminoglycosides can cause toxic side effects to the inner ear and kidneys, and aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss is usually considered irreversible.We report a case of ototoxicity coexisting with nephrotoxicity following streptomycin administration that was associated with improvements in patient's hearing loss after hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Clinical and treatment characteristics of this condition was discussed in light of the current literature.
Keywords: Hearing loss; hyperbaric oxygenation; streptomycin
ÖZET
Aminoglikozidler iç kulak ve böbreklerde toksik yan etkilere neden olabilir ve aminoglikozid nedenli işitme kaybı genellikle geri dönüşümsüz olarak kabul edilir. Bu çalışmada, hiperbarik oksijen tedavisinden sonra işitme kaybında düzelme olan, streptomisin uygulamasını takiben nefrotoksisitenin eşlik ettiği ototoksisite olgusu literatür eşliğinde tartışıldı.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Hiperbarik oksijenasyon; işitme kaybı; streptomisin
