* Majority of CH patients have severe to profound hearing loss where a CI would be a reasonable option, if they have a
cochlear nerve. During surgery, facial nerve malposition is to be expected due to associated semicircular abnormalities (particularly lateral SCC).
The close relationship between the
cochlear nerve and the greater potential for tumor extension under the transverse crest is considered responsible for the low rate of hearing preservation associated with schwannomas originating from the IVN.[sup][2],[15] Adhesion of the tumor to the adjacent structures, including the
cochlear nerve, is considered to be another risk factor.[sup][16] Normal VEMP suggests that the nerve of tumor origin is the SVN, indicating that the IVN and the
cochlear nerve are less affected.{Table 3}
Lesions in the CPA-IAC can compress the
cochlear nerve as it travels from the brainstem to the cochlea resulting in SNHL.
He said medically the absence of a cochlear and
cochlear nerve is referred to as cochlear aplasia.
(3,4) Recent reviews of the histology and surgery literature have demonstrated that most schwannomas arise from the covering cells (Schwann cells) of the inferior vestibular nerve (5,6) Schwannomas that arise from the
cochlear nerve and are limited to the internal auditory canal are rare.
We think that the presence of wave V in our study may reflect the functional integrity of the
cochlear nerve and auditory brainstem potentials were evoked in all subjects with a simple and reproducible technique without being aggressive with the cochlea.
The right
cochlear nerve (VIII) was subsequently cut under intraoperative neuromonitoring.
Fewer than 1,000 people worldwide are affected by the condition Calum was born with, called
cochlear nerve aplasia.
Cochlear nerve stimulation with a 3-dimensional penetrating electrode array.
These early clinical experiences with the SME suggest that the sheath design does overcome the challenges identified with stylet-based perimodiolar arrays and provides confidence that the SME can be consistently placed in scala tympani preserving the cochlear structure and with close proximity to the
cochlear nerve for an optimal electrical stimulation.
HCs are surrounded by SCs and connected with
cochlear nerve fibers by forming synaptic connection.
They discovered his condition, known as
Cochlear Nerve Aplasia, was so rare they would have to travel outside Ireland for treatment.
