Recent reports indicate that the cochlear nerve may be absent in some cases of congenital sensorineural hearing loss. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the incidence of cochlear nerve anomaly in cochlear implant candidates with congenital hearing loss using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Twenty-seven patients with congenital profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who were being evaluated for the cochlear implant procedure were studied.These patients had high-resolution computerized tomography (CT), through the petrous bone in axial sections. MRI examinations consisted of T1 and turbo spin echo (TSE) T2-weighted 3 mm axial images, and additional 3D Fourier Transform T2-weighted TSE sequences obtained on three different planes (axial, perpendicular and parallel to the internal auditory canal (IAC) i.e. oblique sagittal and coronal, respectively) for the purpose of cochlear nerve demonstration. Results showed that all of the 14 patients with normal CT of the temporal bone, had four distinct nerves in the distal part of the IAC on TSE-MRI. Thirteen patients demonstrated various bony malformations of the cochleovestibular system on CT. MRI revealed the absence of the cochleovestibular nerve in four patients where the IAC was very narrow or completely absent on CT. One patient with severe Mondini malformation who had an enlarged IAC demonstrated an isolated absent cochlear nerve.
