Abstract EN
The incidence of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) increased gradually in the past decades.
High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, as an important part of preimplantation evaluation for children with SNHL, could provide the detailed information about the inner ear, the vestibulocochlear nerve, and the brain, so as to select suitable candidate for cochlear implantation (CI).
Brain abnormalities were not rare in the brain MR imaging of SNHL children; however, its influence on the effect of CI has not been clarified.
After retrospectively analyzing the CT and MR imaging of 157 children with SNHL that accepted preoperative evaluation from June 2011 to February 2013 in our hospital and following them during a period of 14.09±5.08 months, we found that the white matter change, which might be associated with the history of medical condition, was the most common brain abnormality.
Usually CI was still beneficial to the children with brain abnormalities, and the short-term hearing improvement could be achieved.
Further study with more patients and longer follow-up time was needed to confirm our results.
