Abstract
Pediatric MD is rare, accounting for 2.3% prevalence in MD patients. The inner ear deficits in pediatric MD showed a significantly declining sequence from the cochlea, to the saccule, utricle and semicircular canals, mimicking the sequence in adult MD. One-third MD children had positive family history, which may explain the high rate of bilateral affliction and symmetrical hearing levels on both ears.
