Abstract:

All pathologies of cochlear implant patients may not be detected in radiology reports. In this retrospective study, patients who underwent cochlear implant surgery in our clinic between 2012-2018 were included in the study. Patients' radiologic images (high-resolution computed tomography: HRCT and magnetic resonance imaging: MRI) were reevaluated to identify cochlear malformations and other abnormal radiologic findings. The surgeon should evaluate the radiological images of the cochlear implant patient himself before the surgery in order not to miss the pathologies of the patient and to identify the points to be considered during surgery.
