Abstract EN
Objective.
To examine the association of intracranial radiographic abnormalities and developmental measures with outcomes in children with congenital symptomatic cytomegalovirus (CMV) and cochlear implants (CI).
Design/Methods.
It was a retrospective review of 15 children implanted from 2004 to 2010.
Preimplant nonverbal intelligence quotient/developmental quotient (IQ/DQ) and head circumference (HC) were obtained.
Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and post-CI audiometry and language assessments were reviewed.
Results.
Eleven children (73%) had cognitive delay.
Most had >1 developmental disability.
Median IQ/DQ was 65 (23–90).
All had imaging abnormalities.
Most imaging abnormalities were in parietal (60%) and temporal (60%) lobes.
Children with HC < 5th percentile had poorer median post-CI PTA (38 dB versus 27 dB, P=0.02).
Periventricular calcifications were associated with lower receptive (rb=−0.75, P=0.03) and expressive (rb=−0.84, P=0.008) language.
Because IQ/DQ was associated with periventricular calcifications (rb=−0.53, P=0.04) and small HC (rb=−0.73, P=0.002), their relationships with language appear partially driven by IQ/DQ.
Conclusions.
The location of brain abnormalities appears to correlate with worse outcomes after CI.
These findings may allow for more accurate counseling of parents regarding anticipated postimplantation performance.
