| Abstrakt | Syphilis should always be considerd in differential diagnosis of hearing impairment, tinnitus and balance disorders. The disease is spread world-wide yet-its incidence has notably decreased over the last two decades, rendering us less alert to this medical issue. In 1994, however, the incidence of syphilis rose again steeply. Syphilis, which may be either congenital or acquired, is manifested by pathologocal changes involving the temporal bone and the inner ear. The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the possible syphilitic etiology of hearing impairment, tinnitus and/or balance disturbances. Three patients with the diagnosis of otosyphilis are presented. | |
