Article Synopsis
- The study aims to understand how the vestibulocochlear system is affected in patients with Susac syndrome (SuS), which is a rare condition that impacts the brain, eyes, and inner ear.
- A review of 21 patient files shows that most experienced various audiovestibular symptoms, including vertigo and sensorineural hearing loss, with specific audiological and vestibular testing revealing common patterns of dysfunction.

Department of Neurosurgery, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, University Medicine Halle, Germany.
Objective: To describe the genetic characteristics and the management of two very rare cases of unilateral multifocal inner ear and internal auditory canal or cerebellopontine angle cochleovestibular schwannomas not being associated to full neurofibromatosis type 2-related schwannomatosis.
Patients: In a 29-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman with single-sided deafness multifocal unilateral cochleovestibular schwannomas were surgically resected, and hearing was rehabilitated with a cochlear implant (CI). Unaffected tissue was analyzed using next generation sequencing of the NF2 gene.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify otologic symptoms in COVID-19 patients and understand their characteristics during the pandemic.
- It involved 2,247 participants, revealing that nearly half experienced symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss, with variations in prevalence based on gender, age, and occupation.
- The findings indicate that otologic symptoms are common in those infected with COVID-19 but often recover on their own, highlighting the need for awareness of cochleovestibular and facial nerve involvement in treatment.
