Abstract
Acute sensorineural hearing loss may appear in some autoimmune diseases. Authors presented a case of 31 years old pregnant woman with Leśniowski-Crohn disease, in who acute total deafness of one ear and sensorineural hearing loss in the second ear appeared after she got pregnant. Immunological etiology was confirmed by presence of antinuclear and anti-type II collagen antibodies. Hearing level improvement after treatment with steroids was observed.
