Abstract
Objectives Persistent stapedial artery (PSA) is a rare congenital anomaly that can complicate middle ear surgery. Methods We present the case of a 25-year-old male who underwent right-sided cochlear implantation. A PSA was encountered lying over the middle promontory intraoperatively. Results The PSA was carefully lifted off the middle ear promontory using a Hughes elevator to divide adhesions and delineate the artery. The implant electrode was placed through the round window niche in the usual fashion. Tragal cartilage and fibrin glue were used to control the trajectory of the electrode. Conclusion Cochlear implantation can be performed safely in patients with PSA.
