Abstract

Objective: Sensorineural hearing loss can occur as a complication of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Although psoriasis is also a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by T-cell mediated hyper proliferation of the keratinocytes, the information about the relationship between audiological disorders is limited in the literature and the relationship with vestibular disorders has not been investigated before. In this study, we aimed to investigate the presence of audiovestibular disorders and their relationship with disease parameters.Methods: Sixty-one patients with psoriasis and 61 healthy individuals were included in this prospective cross-sectional study. Those with possible etiologic factors that may lead to hearing and balance disorders were not included in the study. All participants were first performed a full ear, nose and throat examination. Subsequently, full audiological examination (pure audiometry, autoacoustic emission, stapes reflex, detection threshold of speech and discrimination) and electronystagmography tests were performed in the audiology laboratory where sound isolation was provided. Psoriasis severity was assessed by psoriasis area and severity index, body surface area and general evaluation of researcher. Results: There were significant differences between patients and controls in terms of audiovestibular symptoms. According to audiograms, predominant bilateral sensorineural hearing loss was detected in high frequency in psoriasis patients. The vestibular abnormalities in patients with psoriasis were found to be more frequent than those in controls, only saccadic test values were observed as statistically significant.Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that audiovestibular abnormalities are significantly associated with psoriasis. Therefore, patients with psoriasis should be evaluated for the co-occurrence of hearing loss or vestibular problems which might affect patients' quality of life.

Özet

Amaç: Sensorinöral işitme kaybı, otoimmün ve inflamatuvar hastalıkların bir komplikasyonu olarak ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Psoriasis toplumda yaygın olarak görülmesine rağmen, odyolojik bozukluklar ile ilişkisi hakkında literatürdeki bilgiler sınırlıdır ve vestibüler bozukluklarla ilişkisi daha önce araştırılmamıştır. Biz de bu çalışmamızda, psoriasis hastalarında odyovestibüler bozuklukların varlığını ve hastalık parametreleri ile ilişkisini araştırmayı amaçladık.Yöntemler: Altmış bir psoriasis hastası ile yaş ve cinsiyet uyumlu 61 sağlıklı gönüllü çalışmaya dahil edildi. İşitme ve denge bozukluğuna yol açabilecek olası etiyolojik faktörlere sahip olanlar çalışmaya dahil edilmedi. Tüm katılımcılara öncelikle tam bir kulak, burun ve boğaz muayenesi yapıldı. Takiben hastalara ses izolasyonu sağlanmış odyoloji laboratuvarında tam odyolojik tetkik (saf ses odyometri, otoakustik emisyon, stapes refleksi, konuşmayı alma ve ayırt etme eşiği saptanması) ve elektronistagmografi testleri yapıldı. Psoriasis hastalık şiddeti psoriasis alan ve şiddet indeksi, vücut yüzey alanı ve araştırmacının genel değerlendirmesi ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Odyometrik testlerde hasta ve kontroller arasında anlamlı farklılık saptandı. Odyogramda kontrollere göre psoriasis hastalarında yüksek frekanslarda baskın bilateral sensörinöral işitme kaybı saptandı. Psoriasis hastalarında vestibüler testler kontrollere göre daha sık anormal saptandı, sadece sakkadik test değerleri arasında istatistiksel anlamlı olarak farklılık gözlendi.Sonuç: Çalışmamızda psoriasis ile odyovestibüler sistem bozuklukları arasında anlamlı birliktelik saptandı. Bu nedenle, hastaların yaşam kalitesini etkileyebilen işitme kaybı ve vestibüler bozukluklar açısından psoriasis hastalarının kontrolü gereklidir.
