1.	Ciorba, Andrea, et al. (author) Sudden bilateral sensorineural hearing loss as an unusual consequence of accidental ingestion of potassium hydroxide 2010 In: Medical principles and practice. - Basel : S. Karger. - 1011-7571 .- 1423-0151. ; 19:5, s. 406-408 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Objective: To discuss the possible etiopathogenetic mechanism of inner ear damage induced by the ingestion of potassium hydroxide (KOH).Clinical presentation and intervention: We report the case of a 37-year-old patient with sudden bilateral sensorineural hearing loss after accidental ingestion of a KOH solution. The first ear, nose and throat examination disclosed only mild edema of the upper airways. He was treated in the intensive care unit and prescribed high-dose steroids, proton pump inhibitors and sucralfate for 2 weeks. Unfortunately, there was no recovery of the hearing loss, and no audiogram changes were noticed after 12 months of follow-up.Conclusion: After exploring the possible etiopathogenetic mechanism involved, the authors believe that in this case, a transient severe hemodynamic imbalance can actually be considered to be the most reliable explanation for the inner ear damage and subsequent onset of permanent bilateral sensorineural hearing loss.
