Value of Preoperative Imaging Results in Predicting Cochlear Nerve Function in Children Diagnosed With Cochlear Nerve Aplasia Based on Imaging Results.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to assess the function of the cochlear nerve using electrically evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs) for children with cochlear implants who were diagnosed with cochlear nerve aplasia and to analyze the correlation between preimplantation imaging results and ECAP responses. Thirty-five children diagnosed with cochlear nerve aplasia based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were included. Preimplantation MRI and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images were reconstructed, and the width of the bone cochlear nerve canal (BCNC), the diameter of the vestibulocochlear nerve (VCN), and the diameter of the facial nerve (FN) were measured. ECAP input/output (I/O) functions were measured at three electrode locations along the electrode array for each participant. The r
