Abstract
In this case report, we review a male child who presented with severe bilateral hearing loss. Preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) evaluation facilitated the initial diagnosis of the disease, which revealed typical findings of cochlear incomplete partition type III anomaly (IP-III), surgical planning, and cochlear implant selection to avoid possible complications. The child underwent cochlear implantation, which resulted in gushing and misplacement of the electrodes into the internal auditory canal (IAC) as postoperative complications. Postoperative imaging was used to determine the position of the implant and to assess the complications. The child’s postoperative X-ray revealed misplacement of the cochlear implant, the extent of which was further assessed by a HRCT scan for preplanning the revision surgery and electrode selection. Following the revision surgery, a further HRCT scan confirmed proper implantation and ruled out any further complications.
