Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) are used for hearing restoration.
  • Performance degradation can occur, necessitating investigation.
  • Neurofibromatosis type 2 is a common indication for ABI implantation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in investigating auditory brainstem implant (ABI) performance degradation.
  • To identify the etiology of ABI performance degradation using 1.5 T Siemens MRI.

Main Methods:

  • Case study design.
  • 1.5 T Siemens MRI was used to assess ABI paddle placement and postoperative changes.
  • Device integrity tests were performed.

Main Results:

  • Initial MRI showed ABI paddle near the cochlear nucleus.
  • Follow-up MRI revealed lateral ABI paddle migration towards the flocculus.
  • Migration was associated with fat atrophy from prior craniotomy, suggesting an etiology for ABI degradation.

Conclusions:

  • MRI can delineate postoperative fat atrophy and ABI paddle migration.
  • MRI helps identify causes of ABI performance degradation.
  • This technique aids in managing patients with ABI complications.
