Abstract
Purposes
The objective of this research was to interpret and analyze the imaging, audiological features and cochlear implantation outcomes in cochlear nerve deficiency children.
Material and methods
Retrospective analysis.
Results
25 prelingual hearing loss children diagnosed cochlear nerve deficiency (CND), the age range from 1 to 15 (mean age, 5.04), underwent cochlear implantation at Ear Nose and Throat Hospital - Ho Chi Minh City (ENT hospital – HCMC) from 2016 to 2023. All children had sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) from severe to profound degree. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed cochlear nerve hypoplasia in 76 % and cochlear nerve aplasia in 24 % of cases. Inner ear malformations were found in 52 % of cases. The mean Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP) score at 1 year after surgery was 4.8. At 6 months and 1 year after surgery, the mean CAP score of the aplasia group was significantly lower than that of the hypoplasia group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
In cochlear nerve deficiency children, auditory perception and speech performance still improved after cochlear implantation. However, this progress was significantly limited in cochlear nerve aplasia group.
