We show the consequences of missing important pre-implant pathology prior to CI in one case. In both cases, we add to the literature showing that cochlear implants can work well in the presence of VS, even in the presence of previous SRS. This adds significantly to the management options available to NFII patients, and the results seem to be better than those expected for auditory brainstem implant (ABI), and with a much simpler and safer intervention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
