Abstract:
In this article, we aim to present details of the cochlear implantation procedure performed in a patient with Primrose syndrome, which is a rare genetic condition characterized by physical deformities, sensorineural hearing loss, and metabolic disorders. While its long-term prognosis is still under investigation, the absence of intraoperative and postoperative complications indicates promising findings. This designates cochlear implantation as a viable therapeutic approach for sensorineural hearing loss linked to Primrose syndrome. As cochlear implantation in cases with Primrose syndrome has not been discussed previously in the literature and our patient has recently been operated on, additional investigation is imperative to broaden the understanding of cochlear implant outcomes in this patient population.

The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
