Abstract EN

Isotretinoin is the most effective treatment for severe acne, but there are several adverse effects associated with its use, some of them very exceptional (<1/10000).

We report one case of hypoacusia and tinnitus in a 15-year-old boy treated with isotretinoin during 6 weeks, who quickly improved after isotretinoin withdrawal.

Also, we comment other publications about hearing alterations in patients treated with isotretinoin and other retinoids.
