Abstract EN
Objectives.
This study aimed to determine the feasibility of cochlear implantation for sensorineural hearing loss in patients with Waardenburg syndrome.
Method.
A retrospective chart review was performed on patients who underwent cochlear implantation at the University of Tokyo Hospital.
Clinical classification, genetic mutation, clinical course, preoperative hearing threshold, high-resolution computed tomography of the temporal bone, and postoperative hearing outcome were assessed.
Result.
Five children with Waardenburg syndrome underwent cochlear implantation.
The average age at implantation was 2 years 11 months (ranging from 1 year 9 months to 6 years 3 months).
Four patients had congenital profound hearing loss and one patient had progressive hearing loss.
Two patients had an inner ear malformation of cochlear incomplete partition type 2.
No surgical complication or difficulty was seen in any patient.
All patients showed good hearing outcome postoperatively.
Conclusion.
Cochlear implantation could be a good treatment option for Waardenburg syndrome.
