Cochlear nerve visualization in Normal anatomy and inner ear malformations.

Objectives: This study aimed to qualitatively evaluate the variations in nerve bundles between patients with normal anatomy and those with inner-ear anomalies.

Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the temporal bones of candidates for cochlear implants (CIs) enrolled at a tertiary center were retrospectively reviewed from the clinical database. The 3.

Cochlear Implantation: The Variation in Cochlear Height.

This study aimed to identify the association between different cochlear metrics, including the basal turn diameter (A-value), the basal turn width (B-value), and the height of the cochlea (H-value). We also reported an association between H-value and hearing outcomes with cochlear implants (CI). This is a retrospective study that included all patients who underwent CI procedures between 2012 and 2018 at a tertiary center and have; preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (CT) normal cochlea, postoperative follow-up duration of at least 2 years, scores of the category auditory performance II (CAP-II), and speech intelligibility rating (SIR) scales.

Brain MRI findings of prelingually deaf children and cochlear implant outcome: Preliminary results.

Objective: To estimate the incidence of brain abnormalities in a cohort of prelingually deaf children and whether these abnormalities can impact the hearing outcomes of patients eligible for cochlear implantation (CI).

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of consecutive medical charts of prelingually deaf children under 12 years of age who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during their preoperative workup for CI surgery. We used the category of auditory performance (CAP) test and the speech intelligibility rating (SIR) test to assess the hearing and speech performance of the children, respectively.

Clinical Approaches To External Auditory Canal Hemangiomas: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: Hemangioma is a common soft tissue tumor that can be categorized mainly into cavernous, capillary, and venous subtypes. It usually develops in the head and neck and rarely in the external auditory canal (EAC).

Methods: A systematic review of patients with capillary hemangioma of the EAC was performed.

Cochlear implantation among patients with otosclerosis: a systematic review of clinical characteristics and outcomes.

Purpose: There have been considerable advancements in cochlear implants in different clinical scenarios; however, their use in patients with otosclerosis remains challenging. This review aimed to investigate the surgical and clinical outcomes of cochlear implantation in patients with otosclerosis.

Methods: An electronic literature search was performed using four main databases through February 2021 to identify original studies of cochlear implantation in patients with otosclerosis for inclusion in this systematic review.
