A case report of sudden deafness in a child *
Sudden deafness（SD）is a condition that is rarely encountered in daily practice, and SD in children is extremely rare. As a result, reports regarding this condition have been extremely few, and discussion of its morbid state, clinical state, medical treatment, and the prognosis of hearing has been limited. Treatment in such cases is carried out in much the same manner as with an adult, with steroid therapy being the first choice. A-seven-year-old girl presented with SD against which steroids were expectedly ineffective. Therefore, Batroxobin was given as additional treatment. In the first such case at our facilities, almost complete recovery was obtained. (Accepted on August 26，2006)
