Magnetic resonance imaging of abnormal vestibulocochlear nerves in congenital sensorineural hearing loss patients
Main Article Content
Abstract
This cross-study describes magnetic resonance imaging of 102 ears having abnormal vestibulocochlear nerves (VCN) in congenital sensorineural hearing loss patients. CT scan and MRI 1.5T were focused on the temporal bone with high resolution T2W gradient-echo sequence and ≤1mm-slice. We evaluated the image of VCN in cerebellopotine angle and internal auditory canal, and assessed the relation with bone covering VCN and attached malformation inner ears. The results show that almost all abnormal VCN are abnormal cochlear nerves; deficiency cochlear nerve relates with abnormal internal auditory canal and cochlear nerve canal; congenital abnormal VCN condition also has malformation of the inner ear.
