The Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian New York, New York, Department of Neurological Surgery College of Physicians and Surgeons Columbia University New York, New York An 8-year-old girl complained of decreased hearing and difficulty hearing from her right ear while on the telephone. Pure-tone and speech audiometry, immittance (tympanometry, acoustic reflex thresholds), auditory brainstem response, and transient click-evoked otoacoustic emissions were administered. The results were suggestive of a space-occupying lesion, and the patient was referred to a pediatric neurologist and neurosurgeon. A cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma was found. The patient's audiologic profile is described, along with implications for pediatric neurologic evaluations. (J Child Neurol 2005;20:914915).
