Endolymphatic Sac Tumors, A Source of Morbid Hearing Loss in von Hippel-Lindau Disease
JAMA 277:1461-1466, Manski,T.J.,et al, 1997

Article Abstract
Hearing loss and ELSTs are frequently associated with VHL syndrome and should be considered when screening individuals at risk for VHL and when monitoring patients with an established diagnosis of VHL.Many patients with VHL have hearing loss without radiographic evidence of an ELST. Whether it is caused by an ELST that is too small to be detected by MRI or is produced by some other etiology is still unknown.Audiologic evaluation and MRI should allow early detection and enhance management of hearing loss in these patients.
