TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Late-onset sensorineural hearing loss due to congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection: could head injury be a trigger? JO - Acta paediatrica A1 - Iyer, Anand A1 - Avula, Shivaram A1 - Appleton, Richard SP - e2 EP - 3 VL - 102 IS - 1 N2 - The article by Karltorp et al (1) raised important issues about congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. We have recently diagnosed the oldest case reported in the literature of isolated late-onset sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) due to congenital CMV. A previously well, 14-year-old boy developed acute right-sided deafness, confirmed to be SNHL on audiological assessment. ©2012 The Author(s)/Acta Paediatrica ©2012 Foundation Acta Paediatrica.
