Cochlear implant magnet extrusion with subsequent surgical replacement and restoration of full implant use without the need for device explantation.

Objective And Importance: We recount the unusual case of a young boy whose removable cochlear implant magnet extruded through the skin after becoming displaced after several episodes of direct but minor head trauma. This article outlines a course of clinical management that resulted in the successful re-implantation of a new magnet without infective sequelae and the need for device explantation.

Clinical Presentation: The child presented with recurrent erythema and swelling at the implant site.
