Radiological evaluation of inner ear trauma after cochlear implant surgery by cone beam CT (CBCT)
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology Jun 21, 2019
Abd El Aziz TT, et al. - Via a study of 20 patients with cochlear implantation (CI, which has been extended to involve younger age group with higher incidence of residual hearing which increases the need of minimizing surgical inner ear trauma) for prelingual SNHL, the researchers intended to carry out the radiological evaluation of post-CI inner ear trauma. On analysis, 10 patients with no cochlear trauma (grade 0), 3 patients with grade 1, 2 patients with grade 2 and 5 patients with grade 3 inner ear trauma were observed. Hence, radiological evaluation for electrodeposition should be extended to include assessment of inner ear trauma using the relation of the implant to cochlear internal structures that can be performed by cone beam CT with high resolution and least metallic artifacts.
