J Surg Case Rep. 2016 May 11;2016(5):rjw079. doi: 10.1093/jscr/rjw079.

Abstract

A 61-year-old previously healthy woman developed progressive hearing and visual loss over a period of 2-3 months prior to admission. Her medical/surgical history was remarkable for a left hip arthroplasty 11 years ago requiring revision approximately 6 months prior to admission. After dislocating the revised hip, she re-presented to her surgeon and underwent a closed reduction. Several weeks following the reduction, the patient began having polyuria and symptoms of hearing and vision loss along with numbness in her extremities and abdominal region.
