ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate diagnostic value and clinical application of MRI in the children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) before cochlear implantation.@*METHOD@#MRI images of 80 children with the diagnosis of SHNL were retrospectively analyzed in combination with the latest classification of inner ear malformation.@*RESULT@#There were 152 ears of inner ear malformation of 80 cases (160 ears), including 38 ears of cochlear malformation, 33 ears of vestibular malformation, 41 ears of semicircular canal malformation, 37 ears of vestibular aqueduct enlargement, 40 ears of internal auditory canal malformation, and 46 ears of cochlear nerve malformation.@*CONCLUSION@#MRI can provide detailed and reliable anatomical information for children with SNHL before cochlear implantation, and help to make the classification diagnosis. Therefore MRI is of great clinical significance for operation plan guidance and prognosis assessment.
