PENDRED'S SYNDROME REVISITED
Otorhinolaryngology
Otorhinolaryngology

case report
Pendred's syndrome is defined as a triad of congenital perceptive
hearing loss, goiter, and abnormal perchlorate test.
Three brothers with Pendred's syndrome [P.S.] are reported. The
oldest brother has hearing loss (he has been deaf and mute since childhood)
and has a large goiter. A thyroid scan revealed euthyroid multinodular goiter
and a perchlorate test was performed, and reported abnormal.
His brother had the same manifestations but with less severity and after
subtotal thyroidectomy, the pathology report revealed follicular carcinoma.
The youngest brother had hearing loss since childhood but a normal
sized thyroid. We report three patients and compare the frequency of their
symptoms with that reported in the literature.
