5-month-old male with hearing loss. Evaluate for inner ear pathology. Brain: There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass, or acute infarct. The brain parenchyma and pituitary gland appear unremarkable. There is no evidence of abnormal enhancement. The ventricles and basal cisterns are normal in size and configuration. There is no midline shift or herniation. The major cerebral flow voids are intact. The orbits, skull, paranasal sinuses, and scalp soft tissues are grossly unremarkable.Internal Auditory Canals: The bilateral cranial nerve 7 and 8 complexes are intact. There is no evidence of mass lesions. The inner ear structures, including the cochlea, vestibule, endolymphatic duct, and semicircular canals, appear unremarkable. The bilateral mastoid air cells and middle ears also appear unremarkable, aside from what appears to be a punctate focus of fluid in the right mastoid air cells.
1. No evidence of cochlear nerve deficiency or inner ear lesions.2. No evidence of structural abnormalities in the brain.I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report.
