Incidence of Brain Abnormalities Detected on Preoperative Brain MR Imaging and Their Effect on the Outcome of Cochlear Implantation in Children with Sensorineural Hearing Loss

<div>MR imaging of a representative patient with SNHL. (a, b) Axial T1 and T2 weighted imaging showed abnormal signal in the white matter in the bilateral periventricular area and enlargement of septum pellucidum. (c, d) Sagittal 3D-SPACE imaging showed the normal facial nerve, cochlear nerve, and vestibular nerves in the internal auditory canal. (e, f) Volume rendering imaging showed the normal structure of the inner ear. IT-MAIS score of this patient improved from 0 to 10 after CI.</div>
