Wildervanck syndrome: A rare case of congenital hearing loss with cystic cochleovestibular malformation and cervical diastematomyelia

Abstract

Wildervanck syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, infrequently seen in the general population. The disorder affects ocular movements, hearing, and is associated with cervical spine anomalies. Along with these clinical manifestations, the affected population have a characteristic appearance on radiological imaging which aids in the diagnosis of this syndrome. We present clinico-radiological findings in a 4-year-old child with a classical triad of Wildervanck syndrome associated with cervical diastematomyelia.
