Abstract

The hallmark of VITILIGO is the disappearance of MELANOCYTES from the skin. As a result, of MELANOCYTES presence in the auditory and vestibular apparatus, the involvement of these systems in VITILIGO which targets the MELANOCYTES of the whole body is possible; suggesting that VITILIGO is a SYSTEMIC DISEASE rather than a purely cutaneous problem. A total of 21 patients with VITILIGO were enrolled in this study. A group of 20 healthy subjects served as a control group. Pure tone audiometry (PTA), auditory brainstem responses (ABR) and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) were carried out in all participants.High frequency SENSORY NEURAL HEARING LOSS was seen in 8 (38.09%) patients. ABR analysis revealed 10 (47.61%) had an abnormal increase in latency of wave III, and 6 (28.57%) had an abnormal prolongation of IPL I-III, however, regarding our VEMP findings, there were no recorded responses on left ear of 1 (4.76%) patient and latency of p13 was prolonged in 5 (23.80%) patients. There was no correlation between ages, duration of disease, and any of the recorded parameters (P>0.05). In the present survey, we highlighted the auditory and vestibular involvement in VITILIGO patients.
