摘要：

The clinical manifestations of leptospirosis range from mild to life-threatening and can impact on multiple organ systems. A wide array of neurological manifestations of leptospirosis have been reported, although the pathophysiology of neuroleptospirosis remains incompletely understood. We present a case of leptospirosis complicated by bilateral sensorineural deafness, with nodular meningitis demonstrated in the internal auditory meatus on magnetic resonance imaging. The patient was treated with doxycycline, ceftriaxone, systemic and topical steroids, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, with modest, but incomplete, improvement.
