Introduction: There is a paucity of research on otologic and audiologic abnormalities in Fanconi Anemia (FA). Since these alterations are not entirely characterized the main aim of this study is to describe the otologic and audiologic alterations in children with FA referred to our pediatric hearing loss consultation as part of the clinical evaluation protocol established. Methods: The medical records of eleven patients were reviewed and patient demographics, clinical features associated with FA and otologic and audiologic findings were analyzed.
