Abstract
The development of ototoxicity in association with intravenous pamidro nate treatment of Paget's disease is described. The patient developed hearing loss, vertigo, and tinnitus which were exacerbated by subseque nt infusions. This potentially serious drug side-effect does not appea r to have been reported previously in patients with Paget's disease.
