AbstractBackground:Pre-operative radiological identification of facial nerve anomalies can help prevent intra-operative facial nerve injury during cochlear implantation. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and configuration of facial nerve anomalies and their concurrence with inner-ear anomalies in cochlear implant candidates.Methods:Inner-ear and concomitant facial nerve anomalies were evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging and temporal high-resolution computed tomography in 48 children with congenital sensorineural hearing loss who were cochlear implant candidates.Results:Inner-ear anomalies were present in 11 out of 48 patients (23 per cent) and concomitant facial nerve anomalies were present on 7 sides in 4 patients (7 per cent of the total). Facial nerve anomalies were accompanied by cochlear or vestibular malformation.Conclusion:Potential facial nerve abnormalities should always be considered in patients with inner-ear anomalies. Pre-operative facial nerve imaging can increase the surgeon's confidence to plan and perform cochlear implantation. Magnetic resonance imaging should be used to detect inner-ear anomalies; if these are identified, temporal high-resolution computed tomography should be used to evaluate the facial nerve.

Background Venous malformation (VM) is a common vascular malformation in soft tissue. Surgical management plays an important role in its treatment. The location, extent, and adjacent anatomy of the lesion are crucial information for the safety of operation. This study introduces the application of magnetic resonance imaging and percutaneous sinus angiography/three-dimensional computed tomography imaging in gathering above information. Methods A retrospective analysis was made in the patients with venous malformation from January 2012 to June 2014 in our clinic. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging and percutaneous sinus angiography/three-dimensional computed tomography imaging. The location, extent of the lesion, its draining veins, and the relationship with around tissues were showed. Surgical management was carried out in the lesions which were well defined, located in the superficial fascia without important vessels and nerves across it. The wound was repaired by skin flap or skin graft. Results A total of 13 patients underwent complete surgical removal of the lesions, including five type I venous malformations and eight type II venous malformations. Ten lesions were removed by undermining dissection, and the wound was repaired by the undermined flap. Three superficial lesions were removed together with the skin over it, and the wound was repaired by the skin graft. In the six months to two years of follow-up period, none of the recurrence of the lesion was observed. Conclusion Magnetic resonance imaging and percutaneous sinus angiography/three-dimensional computed tomography imaging can display abundant morphological details of venous malformation, which are helpful for the surgical management.
