自家中毒症による聾の1例

　所謂急性傳染性胃腸障碍に際しての聽器障碍は從來その例多く，種々なる方面より研究されているが，非傳染性胃腸障碍の際に於ける聽器障碍はその例極めて尠く，特にその系統的研究をせる報告は未だ1例もない状態である．然るに幸に我が立木臨床を訪れた1例を経驗する機会に遭遇せるを以つて．此処にその症例を報告するものである．

　患者は8歳の女兒，生來稍々虚弱ではあるが著患はない．兩親健在であつて血族的結合ではないが，近親に於いて血族結婚の間に先天性聾唖の1例がある．

Yamamuro holds that reports on disturbances of hearing caused by gastro-intestinal upsets of infectious origin. have been numerous in the literature but cases which are caused by non-in-fectious origin, as it is reported here, are exce-edingly rare.

The patient, a girl 8 years old,was afflicted with sudden onset of acute abdominal pain that could not be ascribed to any cause and with sore throat and headache. The temperature ran-ged from 39 to 40 degrees centigrade. There was repeated nausea and vomiting accompanied by diarrhea which was non-mucous in character but numbered 3 to 4 times a day. These symp-toms continued for about 3 days when the pa-rents noted the patient did not hear well in both ears. Under treatment the patient recovered from her acute symptoms but the hearing loss which progressed to total deafness by the 4 th day of the disease remained unultered.

Hearing and vestibular test made on the case with notes on progress of the disease are discus-sed in comparison to other reports in the lite-rature.
