Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the value of CT and MRI in diagnosing the children with sensorineural hearing loss.
METHOD:Ninety-six cases suspected as severe sensorineural hearing loss were examined by CT/MRI system and 3D reconstruction.
RESULT:Of 96 cases, 15 cases were found malformation these malformation included Michel, cochlear hypoplasia, commun cavity, Mondini, inner canal straitness, cochlear nerve undeveloped and vestibular aqueduct enlargements.
CONCLUSION:There are 15.63% inner ear malformation occurred in sensorineural hearing loss children. CT and MRI of inner ear have a great clinical value in diagnosing children sensorineural hearing loss by learning the anatomy.
