We report the case of a 27-year-old woman from whom a left vestibular schwannoma (grade IV) was removed by a translabyrinthine
approach. The initial period was uneventful except for a few days of vertigo. This patient had no facial paresis (House-Brackman
grade I). She was seen 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after operation and reported a sensation of hearing in the left ear. The audiological
studies showed a left medium hearing loss. At the 1-year follow-up visit, her hearing status was unchanged. A hearing aid
was fitted and functioned satisfactory. At the 5-year follow-up visit, audiometry studies were unchanged. Our case demonstrated
that some hearing preservation could be obtained even if the vestibular schwannoma was large and excised by a translabyrinthine
approach. Hearing with the help of a good hearing aid allowed a satisfactory function in this case. We believe that it is
possible to preserve some hearing after translabyrinthine approach even if no care was taken to preserve the membraneous labyrinth
and the loss of endolymph and even if the vestibular schwannoma was large. However, further experimental studies are needed
to determine and understand the mechanisms of hearing preservation in this case. 相似文献

ObjectiveCochlear implantation may have a detrimental effect on vestibular function and residual hearing. Our goal was to investigate the impact of cochlear implantation on peripheral vestibular function and the symptomatology that ensues. Material and methodsA prospective observational study included all adults undergoing cochlear implantation by the same operator between July 2014 and December 2015, with pre- and postoperative (4 months) neurovestibular balance examination comprising a questionnaire and clinical tests [head impulse test (HIT), head-shaking test (HST), skull vibration test (SVT)] and instrumental tests [caloric test of the lateral semicircular canal and cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP)]. ResultsTwenty-two patients were included, with a mean age of 62 years and sex-ratio of 1.2. Before implantation, 50% of subjects (n = 11) reported at least one episode of vertigo associated with balance disorder during their life. After implantation, there were 11 cases of vertigo but only one patient described persistent discomfort related to vertigo 4 months after surgery. Patients with impaired vestibular function after 4 months, taking all symptoms together, were all aged more than 75 years. HIT was abnormal in 18% of cases before implantation and in 59% after ( P = NS). HST showed nystagmus in one patient both before and after surgery. Only 18% of patients showed nystagmus induced by SVT before surgery, increasing to one-third after surgery ( P = NS). Caloric test of the lateral canal showed hypofunction in 50% of cases before surgery, including 10% of cases with areflexia. This rate increased after surgery to 58%, with 18% areflexia ( P = NS). cVEMPs were not detected in 68% of cases before implantation and this rate increased to 86% after surgery ( P = NS). There were no significant associations ( P > 0.05) between test results and symptoms. ConclusionsIn the medium term, although older subjects more frequently presented vestibular disorder, cochlear implantation induced little vertigo or balance disorder, sometimes even improving vestibular function. However, vestibular disorders were frequent preoperatively and increased postoperatively. We tested vestibular function on different stimulation frequencies and yet found no correlation between postoperative test results and postoperative vertigo. 相似文献

The present case was a 38-year-old male who presented with progressive hearing loss, resulting in profound bilateral hearing loss. He had a past history of childhood medulloblastoma, which was treated with posterior fossa craniotomy and radiotherapy. A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt was put in place to manage the hydrocephalus. Cochlear implantation (CI) was carried out on his right ear by a standard procedure. At CI activation, the electric impedance of the electrode was very high, and computed tomography revealed that there was no area of liquid density, suggesting depletion of the perilymph in the cochlea and vestibule. Eight months later, the impedance improved gradually, and the cochlea was filled with perilymph. Consequently, one of the causes of the pneumolabyrinth in the present case was that a scarred stenotic cochlear canaliculus secondary to surgery or radiation therapy might have prevented the CSF from filling the scala. In addition, it is also possible that the VP shunt might have altered the CSF pressure, leading to depletion of the perilymph. 相似文献

In neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VS) or their treatment usually results in bilateral hearing loss. Cochlear implantation (CI) was traditionally not used in these patients due to concern that retrocochlear disease would render the implant ineffective. This paper describes the auditory outcomes of CI in 13 patients with NF2 and includes patients with untreated VS and patients undergoing VS removal with cochlear nerve preservation. The non-user rate was 7.7%. Of the active users, median CUNY score was 98%, median BKB score in quiet was 90% and median BKB score in noise was 68%. CI is a viable option in selected patients with NF2. 相似文献

ObjectiveVestibular dysfunction associated with cochlear implantation is rare. It is usually seen in patients with otosclerosis due to spread of electrical activity throughout the demineralized bone. A 17-year old female with progressive hearing loss 2 years after meningitis and vestibular dysfunction in the implanted ear is presented in this study. FindingsThe patient had mild hearing loss in the right ear and total hearing loss on the left side because of complete ossification of the cochlea following meningitis. She had to have cochlear implantation in the right ear because of progression of hearing loss. She had successful implantation but she experienced vestibular dysfunction following activation of cochlear electrodes. Closure of two electrodes caused disruption of auditory programming. Then the patient was subjected to long term vestibular rehabilitation program. ConclusionTiming for implantation before the completion of cochlear ossification is crucial not to miss the chance for hearing restoration. However, difficulties in hearing rehabilitation due to extensive ossification can be doubled by vestibular problems triggered by stimulation of the vestibular nerve by cochlear electrodes. Attempts to reduce the balance problem will complicate auditory programming. Vestibular rehabilitation for long term helps to carry on hearing progress. 相似文献

Objective: The goal of the present study was to investigate the impact of unilateral cochlear implantation on postural control in relation to the vestibular status before CI surgery. Methods: We recruited 17 participants (four CI candidates and 13 hearing controls) and performed complete vestibular evaluation (cVEMP, oVEMP, vHIT) and postural evaluation using a force platform, prior and following unilateral cochlear implant surgery. Results: Our study suggests that an increase in postural sway following cochlear implant was present only for the participants that received the implant in the ear with the better vestibular function. cVEMP and oVEMP measures in the implanted ear prior to unilateral cochlear implantation may help to predict postural control performance following surgery. Discussion: A thorough evaluation of the vestibular function, as described in the present study, could not only be helpful to make a more accurate prognosis of the risks of fall following cochlear implantation, but also to provide proper vestibular rehabilitation for at-risk patients. 相似文献

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to report on auditory performance after cochlear implantation in children with cochlear nerve deficiency. MethodsA retrospective case review was performed. Five patients with pre-lingual profound sensorineural hearing loss implanted in an ear with cochlear nerve deficiency participated in the study. Postoperative auditory and speech performance was assessed using warble tone average threshold with cochlear implant, speech perception categories, and speech intelligibility ratings. All patients underwent high resolution computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. ResultsAccording to Govaerts classification, three children had a type IIb and two a type IIa cochlear nerve deficiency. Preoperatively, four patients were placed into speech perception category 1 and one into category 2. All patients had an improvement in hearing threshold with the cochlear implant. Despite this, at the last follow-up (range 18–81 months, average 45 months), only one girl benefited from cochlear implantation; she moved from speech perception category 2 to 6 and developed spoken language. Another child developed closed set speech perception and had connected speech that was unintelligible. The other 3 children showed little benefit from the cochlear implant and obtained only an improved access to environmental sounds and improved lipreading skills. None of these 4 children developed a spoken language, but they were all full-time users of their implants. ConclusionsThe outcomes of cochlear implantation in these five children with cochlear nerve deficiency are extremely variable, ranging from sporadic cases in which open set speech perception and acquisition of a spoken language are achieved, to most cases in which only an improved access to environmental sound develops. Regardless of these limited outcomes, all patients in our series use their device on a daily basis and derive benefits in everyday life. In our opinion, cochlear implantation can be a viable option in children with cochlear nerve deficiency, but careful counseling to the family on possible restricted benefit is needed. 相似文献

Objectives: Cochlear implantation (CI) is used for children with severe to profound hearing loss who show little or no improvement using hearing aids. This study explored parental knowledge of their children’s CI. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving the parents of 115 pediatric CI patients was conducted at King Abdullah Specialized Children’s Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Parents were interviewed by telephone using a 50-question validated questionnaire. Results: Most parents of children with CI reported being comfortable in using the internet (68.7%) and social media (40.9%) to obtain information regarding CI. Although most parents of children with CI relied on health professionals and websites as their main sources of information, they were also able to obtain necessary information at meetings for CI patients and health professionals. Parents of children with CI felt they had sufficient information regarding the impact of hearing loss (78%) and CI (71%) on speech understanding and language development; however, they had insufficient information regarding criteria for CI candidacy, available brands of CI devices, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Conclusion: Parents reported that health professionals were the ideal source of information regarding hearing loss and CI. Moreover, our study showed that parents should learn more about cochlear implant devices, the post-implantation process, and candidacy criteria. 相似文献
