We report the MR imaging findings in a case of intracranial aspergillosis involving the internal auditory canal (IAC) and inner ear in an immunocompetent patient. The presence of rim enhancement of the vestibulocochlear nerve, abnormal signal intensity involving the labyrinth, and adjacent meningeal enhancement might help clinicians to make a correct diagnosis in patients with a mass in the IAC...
متن کاملA Challenge for Cochlear Implantation: Duplicated Internal Auditory Canal.

Only 14 such cases have been reported to date. We report the case of a 13-month-old girl with bilateral, congenital, sensorineural hearing loss caused by narrow, duplicated internal auditory canals a...
متن کاملDuplication of the internal auditory canal: radiographic imaging case of the month.
As many as 40% of patients with congenital sensorineural hearing loss will have a structural inner ear malformation identified on a temporal bone imaging study (1). Anomalies of the internal auditory canal (IAC) are rare and have been reported to account for only 12% of all congenital temporal bone abnormalities. Internal auditory canal abnormalities may be associated with hypoplasia or aplasia...
