The scala vestibuli for cochlear implantation. An anatomic study.

BACKGROUND: Traditionally, cochlear implantation has used the scala tympani (ST) for electrode insertion. When faced with ST ossification, the surgeon may elect to drill out the cochlea to accomplish partial electrode insertion. Theoretically, another option in this situation is to insert the electrode into the scala vestibuli (SV). OBJECTIVE: To determine whether or not the dimensions of the SV are sufficient to accommodate an electrode array so as to assess the feasibility of SV cochlear implantation. METHODS: The study of 20 normal human temporal bones, comparing the maximum diameter and surface area of the ST with those of the combined SV and scala media. RESULTS: The dimensions of the SV and scala media were comparable to those of the ST and appeared sufficient to accommodate a cochlear implant electrode array. CONCLUSION: It appears that the combination of SV and scala media is a viable alternative route for electrode insertion, at least on the basis of anatomic dimensions, in those cases in which the ST is obliterated.

Delayed development of sensorineural hearing loss after neonatal hyperbilirubinemia: a case report with brain magnetic resonance imaging.

Sensorineural hearing loss has long been known to be a clinical consequence of kernicterus. Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) that occur in hyperbilirubinemic infants, can be reversed in the neonatal period by exchange transfusion. The case was reported in an infant with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia from hemolysis due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and napthalene exposure. BAEPs showed that the baby had normal hearing at 30 decibels at 13 days of age, after exchange transfusions, but had developed profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss by 7 months of age. The brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings at 7 months are also presented.

Expression of S-100 protein in the human fetal inner ear.

The expression of S-100 protein was analyzed in the human fetal inner ear using immunohistochemical methods. In the 11-week-old human fetus, the cochlea was almost negative for S-100 protein, whereas in the 14- and 15-week-old fetuses, the spiral ligament, Reissner's membrane and spiral limbus were positive for the protein. These results suggest that S-100 protein may be a reliable marker for determining functional maturation of the fetal cochlea and the inner ear. In the 11-, 14- and 15-week fetuses, the epithelial cells of the endolymphatic sac were labelled with S-100 protein. These findings demonstrate that the endolymphatic sac, spiral limbus and spiral ligament in the fetal inner ear have a high activity of S-100 protein, with this presence possibly related to fluid and ion transport of endolymph.
