Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome

الملخص EN

This study reports two consanguineous sisters with congenital sensorineural hearing loss and prolonged QT interval on electrocardiogram, and syncope in one of them.

An older sibling, apparently also deaf, had previously died suddenly.

These are the hallmarks of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen Syndrome as described in 1957.

The study also contains a select summary of literature about this syndrome, and outlines various treatment options.
