Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pendred syndrome (PS) is an autosomal recessive disorder, caused by biallelic mutations in the SLC26A4 gene which codes for the pendrin protein. It is characterized by sensorineural hearing loss associated with dyshormonogenic goiter. Which is a common cause of congenital deafness. CASE PRESENTATION: Hereby we describe a case of a 21- year-old women who presented to the ORL department with an anterior cervical mass that gradually increased in volume over 3 years associated with severe hearing loss since birth for which the patient was provided with hearing aids. Pendred syndrome is suspected because of the present of goiter and congenital hearing loss. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical presentation is very variable. However, the association of goiter and progressive deafness suggests the diagnosis of Pendred syndrome.
