Overview
Branchiootorenal syndrome (BOR) is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease typical for its major criteria: 1. presence of branchial fistules; 2. hearing loss caused by malformations of outer, middle, or inner ear; and 3. in combination with renal anomalies. The estimated incidence is 1: 40,000. A take home message is to point out the rare syndrome connected with hearing loss and to discuss its potential treatment.
