Abstract

Severe to profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss is a challenging medical problem, particularly if this condition is associated with an inner ear anomaly. This case series studies the prevalence of inner ear anomalies among 76 consecutive prospective cochlear implant candidates who presented to our tertiary care hospital over 2 years. Inner ear anomalies were identified in 11 cases with a prevalence rate of 14%. Narrow Internal Auditory Canal (IAC) is the most common inner ear anomaly (5) followed by Mondini (3) and Globular vestibule (3). Combined CT and MRI play an important role in the preoperative assessment of inner ear anomalies which may affect not only the decision to perform the Implant procedure and the prognosis but also the choice of implant and surgical technique.
