What is it about?
CAPOS (cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, and sensorineural hearing loss) syndrome can manifest itself with ANSD and this rare situation and audiological rehabilitation outcomes have not well documented in the literature. We aim to present a cochlear implant user subject with CAPOS syndrome and ANSD.

Why is it important?
Audiological management of ANSD with CAPOS syndrome could be complicated as a result of complex nature of both disorders. After careful audiological follow-ups and detailed evaluations, patients should be considered as candidates for the implantation of cochlear implant.
Perspectives
After detailed audiological evaluations, CI could be a good option for patients who have ANSD and CAPOS syndrome.
