Morquio's syndrome

Am J Otol. 1987 Sep;8(5):443-9.

Abstract

Treatment of hereditary syndromes is still hampered by a scarcity of information. Morquio's syndrome is a mucopolysaccharidosis associated with chronic middle ear disease and with mixed or sensorineural hearing loss, although some patients with this syndrome have had normal hearing. This case is presented to report the occurrence of hearing loss and to report electronystagmographic findings for the first time.
