Latar belakang: Corpus callosum (CC) merupakan jalur utama yang menghubungkan hemisfer cerebral. Fungsinya adalah mentransfer informasi dari satu hemifer ke hemisfer lainnya dengan menyediakan sarana untuk mengintegrasi informasi dari setiap hemisfer untuk menerima, memahami dan bertindak sepenuhnya atas masukan sensori termasuk auditori yang berdampak pada proses perkembangan bicara. Tujuan: Mengetahui adakah gangguan pendengaran dan proses perkembangan bicara pada anak sebagai Agenesis Corpus Callosum (AgCC) serta penanganannya. Laporan kasus: Dilaporkan dua kasus yang terdiagnosis sebagai agenesis corpus callosum dan dirujuk untuk mengetahui adakah gangguan pendengaran yang diperkirakan akan berdampak pada perkembangan bicara. Pada kasus pertama terdapat Otitis Media Efusi bilateral dengan adanya keterlambatan bicara dan motorik, sedangkan kasus kedua tidak ditemukan adanya gangguan pendengaran. Metode: Berdasarkan telaah literatur berbasis bukti melalui Pubmed, Science Direct, Springer Link, Clinical Key dengan kata kunci agenesis corpus callosum, pemeriksaan pendengaran, gangguan bicara diperoleh 161 literatur. Skrining dilakukan dan diperoleh 12 literatur yang relevan. Pemilihan jurnal 5 tahun terakhir dengan memasukkan kata kunci maka diperoleh 2 jurnal yang sesuai. Kesimpulan: Penegakan diagnosis agenesis CC sering luput karena gejala yang ditimbulkan tidak khas, sehingga kebanyakan kasus baru terdiagnosis bila ada riwayat kejang yang perlu dicari etiologinya, atau adanya dugaan hidrosefalus. Gangguan pendengaran tidak selalu terjadi tetapi permasalahan yang utama adalah tidak terjadinya integrasi informasi sensorik antar hemisfer yang memengaruhi perkembangan bicara. Oleh karena itu kedua kasus tersebut perlu dievaluasi lanjut. Penanganan kasus agenesis CC bervariasi tergantung kelainan yang dialami.Kata kunci: Agenesis corpus callosum, gangguan pendengaran, perkembangan bicaraABSTRACT Background: The corpus callosum is the main pathway connecting the cerebral hemispheres. Its function is to transfer information from one hemisphere to another by providing a means to integrate information from each hemisphere to receive, understand and act fully on sensory input including auditory which has an impact on the process of speech development. Objective: To identify hearing loss and speech development impairment in children as agenesis CC (AgCC) and provide recommendations regarding the treatment needed. Case Report: Two AgCC cases were reported and referred to identify hearing loss that could interfere with speech development. On the first case, bilateral otitis media with effusion was found along with speech and motoric delay. On the second case, hearing problem was not identified. Methods: Evidence-based literature review was performed through Pubmed, Science Direct, Springer Link, Clinical Key with agenesis corpus callosum, hearing examination, speech disorders as keywords produced 161 literatures. Screening was carried out, resulting in 12 relevant literatures. Selection of the last 5 years by entering keywords produced 2 appropriate journals. Conclusion: Diagnosis of CC is often missed because the symptoms are not typical. Most cases are diagnosed when a history of seizures appeared that need to be sought for etiology or the presence of hydrocephalus. Hearing loss is not always the case but the main problem is its impact on speech development. Therefore both cases need to be further evaluated. Treatment of AgCC cases varies depend on the abnormality found.

AbstractObjective:To present a case of a 60-year-old male with a history of sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss due to Churg–Strauss syndrome.Case report:The patient had a 20-year history of asthma and recurrent right otitis media and a nasal polypectomy four years prior to presenting with ear symptoms. Ear, nose and throat involvement is common in Churg–Strauss syndrome, usually manifesting as allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis with or without polyps.Conclusions:Otolaryngologists play an important role in making an early diagnosis of this disease. To our knowledge this is the first case of Churg–Strauss syndrome primarily presenting with otological pathology: left sensorineural hearing loss and right otitis media.

This study investigated comodulation masking release (CMR) in a group of children with a history of otitis media with effusion (OME) and a control group of children with no known history of ear disease. CMR was measured both in a monotic condition and in a dichotic condition (where comodulated flanking bands were added to the ear contralateral to the signal). CMR was measured before the insertion of pressure equalization tubes, approximately 1 to 3 months after surgery, and approximately 6 to 8 months after surgery. The results indicated that monotic CMRs were reduced in children who had hearing loss due to OME. Furthermore, the monotic CMR remained abnormally small even when threshold had returned to normal for 1 to 3 months. The monotic CMR was essentially normal 6 to 8 months following surgery. No differences were found between the two groups of children for the dichotic CMR.

Objective To evaluate the role of social isolation during the lockdown due to the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) in modifying the prevalence of otitis media with effusion (OME) and the natural history of chronic OME. Study Design Retrospective study. Setting Tertiary level referral audiologic center. Methods We assessed the prevalence of OME among children aged 6 months to 12 years who attended the outpatient clinic for hearing or vestibular disorders during 2 periods before the lockdown, May-June 2019 (n = 350) and January-February 2020 (n = 366), and the period immediately after the lockdown, May-June 2020 (n = 216). We also compared the disease resolution rates between a subgroup of children with chronic OME (n = 30) who were diagnosed in summer 2019 and reevaluated in May-June 2020 and a similar subgroup (n = 29) assessed in 2018-2019. Results The prevalence of OME in this clinic population was 40.6% in May-June 2019, 52.2% in January-February 2020, and 2.3% in May-June 2020. Children with chronic OME had a higher rate of disease resolution in May-June 2020 (93.3%) than those examined in May-June 2019 (20.7%, P < .001). Conclusion Closure of schools and the physical distancing rules were correlated with a reduction in the prevalence of OME and favored the resolution of its chronic forms among children who attended the outpatient clinic. These data could suggest that in the presence of chronic OME, keeping young children out of group care settings for a period might be beneficial to allow for OME resolution.

Episodes of acute otitis media frequently occur in childhood and are attended by significant morbidity, such as hearing loss and possible speech delay. Bacteria play an important etiologic role in the pathogenesis of otitis media; therefore, antimicrobial agents are the cornerstone in the treatment of this disease. Many antimicrobial choices are available for treating children with acute otitis media. To choose an antimicrobial for each patient, consideration must be given to the patient's age, history of otitis media episodes, and responses to previously used antimicrobial drugs, and the regional antimicrobial susceptibility of the otitis media pathogens.

The paper by Kaplan and colleagues in a previous issue starts by emphasizing the unusually high incidence of otitis media among Eskimo children. Forty-one percent of their cohort of 489 Alaskan Eskimo children, followed for ten years, had perforations or scars of the tympanic membranes; significant hearing losses were present in 16% of the group. Among the 374 children with a history of otorrhea, 291 (78%) had their first attack before their second birthday. The adverse effects of hearing loss in early life on language development were underscored by the authors, who quite properly point out the need for special educational programs.

Histories of ear disease, otoscopic examinations, and audiologic, intelligence, and achievement tests were obtained from a cohort of 489 Alaskan Eskimo children who have been followed through the first ten years of life. Seventy-six per cent had experienced one or more episodes of otitis media since birth. Of these, 78% had their first attack during their first two years of life. Perforations and scars were present in 41%. A hearing loss of 26 decibels or greater was present in 16%, and an additional 25% were in the normal range but had a measurable air-bone gap. Children with a history of otitis media prior to 2 years of age and a hearing loss of 26 decibels or greater had a statistically significant loss of verbal ability and were behind in total reading, total math, and language. In addition, children who had an early onset of otitis media but now had normal hearing with a conductive component were also adversely affected in verbal areas. The number of otitis media episodes was related to tympanic membrane abnormalities, hearing loss, and low verbal and achievement scores. These findings indicate that otitis media has been a significant cause of morbidity in Alaskan Eskimo children, and its onset during the critical years of language development as well as the number of episodes play an important role in impairing verbal development.

PURPOSE: To study the temporal auditory ordering and resolution abilities in children with and without a history of early OME and ROME, as well as to study the responses according to age. METHODS: A total of 59 children were evaluated, and all of them presented pure tone thresholds within the normal range at the time of the conduction of the hearing tests. The children were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of episodes of recurrent otitis media. Then, each group was divided into two subgroups according to age: 7- and 8-year olds, and 9- and 10-year olds. All children were assessed with standard tests of temporal frequency (ordination) and gaps-in-noise (resolution). RESULTS: For the temporal abilities studied, children with a history of otitis media presented significantly lower results compared to the control group. In the frequency pattern test, the correct answers increased with age in both groups. In the identification of silence intervals, the control group showed no change in threshold regarding to age, but this change was present in the group with a history of otitis media. CONCLUSION: Episodes of otitis media with effusion in the first year of life, recurrent and persistent in preschool and school ages, negatively influence the temporal ordering and resolution abilities.
