Résumé
Hearing loss (HL) is one of the most common complications of the treatment in head and neck oncology. Most cases of HL are due to the ototoxicity of platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) - resulting usually in a symmetric bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) - or radiotherapy. Radiation-induced SNHL is progressive, permanent, and dose-dependent. Total dose and follow-up time are important factors affecting incidence rates. However, the hearing consequences of proton radiation therapy (PRT), a radiation-type therapy especially used in pediatric malignancies of the central nervous system (CNS), remains unclear and poorly documented. We report here a case of a four-year-old patient with unilateral auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) related to PRT. This case highlights the need for appropriate auditory monitoring in patients undergoing PRT for CNS or head and neck malignancies.
