Abstract

SUMMARY


Objective: Bilan of scannographic and magnetic resonance imaging features for 35 candidates of cochlear implant (CI).
Materials and methods: 35 cases suffering from profound deafness, undergone screening for CI from Jan 2011 to April 2012. Temporal CT scanner, Brain and inner ear MR imaging were performed.
Results: 35 patients, Male/female is 18/17, average age is 8. None has outer ear abnormality. Six cases (17.1%) have malformation of middle ear. Ten cases (28.6) suffer from acute otitis media. Two cases with inner malformation and three cases with labirynthitis.
Conclusions: CT scanner and MR imaging play an important role in bilan of CI.
