Long-Term Results of the Cochlear Implant in Patients with Otosclerosis
نویسنده
چکیده
Only 23% of patients with otosclerosis observed by histological changes also present clinical manifestations [2], because in most cases otosclerosis reaches small regions of the optic capsule without causing clinical symptoms (histological form) [3]. It is estimated that between 9 and 10% Of patients with otosclerosis will develop deep sensorineural hearing loss due to the evolution of the disease [4,5].

Evolution of otosclerosis to cochlear implantation.
INTRODUCTION Otosclerosis is an osteodystrophy of the labyrinthine capsule producing conductive hearing loss. If the process invades the cochlea, a sensorineural hearing loss usually takes place. The cochlear implant is a good alternative in these patients. OBJECTIVE To ascertain the behaviour of cochlear implantation in otosclerosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed a database of 250 patie...

متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Cochlear Size in Insertion of Electrode Depth in Patients with Cochlear Implantation evaluated by CT-Scan
Background Cochlear implant surgery is an invasive procedure for patients with bilateral Sensorineural hearing loss and may cause some risks such as cochlear damage. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cochlear measures obtained by computed tomography (CT) scan in predicting depth of cochlear implant insertion. Materials and Methods This study was conducted in a retrospective and cross-se...
متن کاملCOCHLEAR IMPLANTATION IN IRAN
Cochlear implantation has become an increasingly common procedure in the rehabilitation of selected cases of profound deafness.' Patients should have profound total bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Sound is transformed into small electric currents which stimulate the auditory nerves in the cochlea and generate the hearing sensation. The nucleus cochlear implant is the result of more t...
