Post Polio Syndrome with Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Case Report
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: An enterovirus causes the neurological disorder known as poliomyelitis. Many survivors have Post-polio syndrome, a poorly understood condition. It has been estimated that 20% to 85% of those who have experienced poliomyelitis will develop PPS.The following factors are necessary for a PPS diagnosis: 1) motor neuron loss from a previous episode of poliomyelitis; 2) neurologic and functional stability for at least 15 years following the initial onset of polio; and 3) a gradual start of new weakness and atypical muscular fatigability that has lasted for at least a year. We present the case of an elderly patient who complained of headache and giddiness, as well as a history of poliomyelitis and other coexisting conditions.
