Acute Deafness: A Complication of High-Dose Cisplatin

Abstract
• Acute, profound cisplatin-induced deafness has rarely been reported. Ototoxic reactions to cisplatin in the past have been subclinical, with most hearing loss occuring in the high-frequency range. A patient was treated with ultra-high-dose cisplatin who suffered acute profound deafness. Methods are suggested for preventing similar complications in other patients given cisplatin in high-dose ranges. (Arch Otolaryngol 1985;111:344-345)
