Abstract
Thyroid carcinoma and cataract are well established complications of irradiation treatment. Hearing loss, also a recognized complication of such treatment, is less frequently reported. A rare case of a patient irradiated on the right side of the face for a large hemangioma during early childhood is reported. This patient suffers from sensorineural hearing loss in the right ear and a cataract of the right eye, and she underwent surgery for Hurtle cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland. The literature discussing radiation-induced hearing loss is reviewed.
