AbstractObjective:We report the case of a successful cochlear implantation in a patient with severe cochlear hypoplasia.Case report:The outcome of cochlear implantation is generally less favourable for patients with cochlear hypoplasia than for those with a normal cochlear structure. In the reported patient, part of the electrode array was inserted into the internal auditory canal. Nevertheless, the benefits following cochlear implantation seemed to outweigh the risks for this patient.Conclusion:Cochlear hypoplasia is not necessarily a contraindication for cochlear implantation.

AbstractObjective:To report a series of pitfalls and complications in a case of cochlear implantation.Method:Case report.Results:An 11-year-old boy affected by auditory neuropathy underwent cochlear implantation. Intra-operative assessment was apparently consistent with correct insertion of the electrode array into the cochlea. However, subsequent high resolution computed tomography revealed that the entire electrode array was curled up within the vestibule. Revision surgery was complicated by cerebrospinal fluid leakage. A straight probe was repeatedly inserted into the internal auditory canal, before conversion to a canal wall down procedure and appropriate positioning of the electrode array.Conclusion:In this case, mild anteriorisation of the facial nerve created an awkward insertion angle for the electrode array via the retro-facial route, which may have triggered the described series of adverse events.

Cavernous haemangiomas are rare lesions of the cerebello-pontine angle that can mimic the more commonly occurring vestibular schwannoma. A case report involving a patient with a cavernous haemangioma of the internal auditory canal (IAC) highlights this as a diagnostic possibility for lesions of the IAC by comparing and contrasting the clinical and radiological findings with the more commonly occurring vestibular nerve and facial schwannomas.Symptoms such as hearing loss and facial paralysis that are disproportionate to the size of the lesion or fluctuate with hormonal changes such as those seen in pregnancy are suggestive of haemangioma. Radiological imaging demonstrating a lesion enchancing with gadolinium and containing areas of calcification is also suggestive of haemangioma. It is important to consider the possible diagnosis of haemangioma as early recognition of this entity may improve the chances of preserving the functional integrity of the facial nerve.

Internal auditory canal (IAC) stenosis with hypoplasia of the facial and vestibulocochlear nerves is a rare cause of congenital facial palsy. In this case report, a 3-month-old female infant was referred for a neurological developmental assessment for developmental delay and congenital facial palsy. Upon evaluation of developmental delay, hearing loss was detected. Following a magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain and a computed tomography scan of the temporal bone, IAC stenosis with hypoplasia of facial and vestibular nerves was diagnosed. This is a rare case of IAC stenosis in an infant with initial presentations of left facial palsy and developmental delay associated with hearing loss in the left ear. We strongly suggest that IAC stenosis be considered a cause of congenital facial palsy in infants, especially in patients with developmental delay. In infants with congenital facial palsy, a thorough physical examination and neurological developmental assessment should be performed.
