Since cochlear implantation (CI) has become a well-established tool for auditory rehabilitation in patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), there has been a growing interest in the detailed imaging assessment of the inner ear. At first, CI was restricted … more »

The incomplete partition type II (IP-II) anomaly of the cochlea is one of the most frequently imaging-detected congenital causes of sensorineural hearing loss. Certain imaging features of IP-II have been previously described on CT, including a lack of bony partitions within the cochlea and flattening of the anchor point or interscalar ridge between … more »

The aim of this 2-part review was to highlight the role that imaging plays in the management of childhood sensorineural hearing loss, which is among the most prevalent chronic conditions encountered in the pediatric age group, and to review the imaging features of some of the more common causes of childhood hearing … more »

I believe the imaging evaluation of children with sensorineural hearing loss is difficult, often with quite subtle findings. I wanted to report on unique, objective measures to help in the diagnosis of cochlear malformations. Determining the number of cochlear turns can be difficult even for the experienced temporal bone imager. Scala communis is a … more »

Inner ear malformations are one of the most challenging and confusing topics in all of neuroradiology (and radiology for that matter). The topic has “haunted” radiology residents for years, and I remember being a petrified fourth-year resident in the spring of 1992 (last century!), preparing for the oral boards and being completely flummoxed … more »
