From Profiles to Structure in Cochlear Nerve: A Clinical Study of Auditory Neuropathy.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the clinical and audiological features in auditory neuropathy (AN) patients with different image performance of cochlear nerve (CN) on MRI.

Methods

AN patients were selected from the Multicenter Study on Clinical Diagnosis and Intervention of AN (2003-2023). Subjects were divided into four groups by CN size on MRI: bilateral AN with CN normalization (BAN^cnn), bilateral CN deficiency (BAN^cnd), unilateral AN with CND (UAN^cnd), and CN normalization (UAN^cnn) groups. Clinical and audiological features were analyzed, alongside differential analysis using the Internal auditory meatus (IAM) grading system.

Results

Totally 132 cases were included. The rate of CND was 35.6% (47/132), with 32.7% (36/110) and 5
