 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 14 Large vestibular aqueduct syndrome in children with cochlear implant clinical analysis of 8 patients [Abstract] Objective To evaluate patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome cochlear implantation safety and efficacy. Methods in patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome in 8 cases of inner ear malformation group, of which 6 cases of prelingual deafness, hearing loss in 2 cases after the words to 8 cases of normal development of cochlear implant recipients as a control group, surgery and postoperative results compared. Results 8 patients were successfully implanted cochlear electrode, 7 cochlea back window blowout occurs rapidly with the temporal muscles and tendons membrane firmly closed window at the stop blowout. All cases were no CSF leak, intracranial infection, facial paralysis, otitis media and other complications, deformity group and control group differences in intraoperative and postoperative complications, no significant meaning. Postoperative Most of the patients hearing threshold anomalies group reached 30 ~ 45 dBHL, and the inner ear similar to the control group, the difference was not statistically significant (Pgt; 0.05), abnormal results of hearing and speech rehabilitation group and control group close to the majority. Conclusion integrated large vestibular aqueduct Zheng cochlear implantation in patients prone to blow in, intraoperative controlled, no complications after surgery, patients are observed satisfactory hearing and speech rehabilitation, therefore, patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome cochlear explants into the surgery is safe and effective.
