Summary
This case study details managing a patient with severe bilateral otological disease and multisensory loss. Surgical intervention and cochlear implantation (CI) successfully restored hearing and prevented further neurological compromise.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Neurosurgery
- Audiology
Background:
- Complex otoneurological disease presents significant management challenges, particularly when involving multisensory compromise.
- Bilateral vestibular schwannoma and extensive cholesteatoma pose risks of profound hearing loss, vestibular hypofunction, and facial nerve damage.
