Summary
|
Gusher`s syndrome is marked by progressive isolated deafness, either mixed or sensorineural, along with petrous malformation that suggests a perilymphatic fistula. This syndrome is inherited by X-linked recessive transmission, (i.e. it affects boys only). The causative gene is located on Xq21.1 and encodes a transcription factor, POU3F4. Intragenic mutations and deletions have been identified in the patients. Patient management is multidisciplinary. Surgery is resorted to only when deafness progresses brutally and fails to respond to other forms of treatment.
