Imaging in pediatric bilateral sensorineural hearing loss: Diagnostic yield with computed tomography vs magnetic resonance imaging
International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology May 27, 2021
Zhang J, Sawaf T, Anne S, et al. - Multi-institutional retrospective review was conducted with the aim to examine the findings and compare the diagnostic yield of computed tomography (CT) vs magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in children with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (BSNHL). They reviewed a total of 2,081 charts; 313 of these patients met inclusion criteria. CT and MRI had the diagnostic yield of 25% and 18%, respectively. While both modalities were noted to have an important and often complementary diagnostic utility, CT showed superior diagnostic yield in detecting abnormalities linked with BSNHL.
