Multichannel auditory brainstem implants (ABI) offer auditory sensation for neurofibromatosis type II patients. This case study details an ABI implantation in a 15-year-old girl with bilateral vestibular schwannomas.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Audiology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Neurofibromatosis type II (NF2) often involves bilateral vestibular schwannomas, impacting hearing.
  • Auditory Brainstem Implants (ABI) are indicated for NF2 patients with vestibulocochlear nerve involvement.
  • ABI bypasses damaged cochlear nerves by stimulating the cochlear nucleus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of auditory brainstem implantation in a pediatric patient with NF2.
  • To illustrate the surgical placement of ABI in the lateral recess of the fourth ventricle.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical implantation of a multichannel auditory brainstem implant.
  • Placement of the implant in the lateral recess of the fourth ventricle during tumor resection.

Published on: January 9, 2019

Main Results:

  • Successful implantation of ABI in a 15-year-old female patient.
  • The procedure was performed in the context of bilateral vestibular schwannomas.

Conclusions:

  • Auditory brainstem implantation is a viable option for hearing restoration in select NF2 patients.
  • This case highlights the application of ABI in a young patient with complex NF2-related tumors.
