J Laryngol Otol. 1999 Sep;113(9):841-3. doi: 10.1017/s0022215100145359.

Abstract

Branchio-oto-renal syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by hearing loss, branchial arch abnormalities and renal tract malformations. We present the first reported case of branchio-oto-renal syndrome associated with bilateral congenital cholesteatoma and ossicular chain abnormalities. The pathogenesis of this syndrome is described and the literature is reviewed.
