Ssudden hearing loss in left ear, history of chemoradiation for esophageal cancer. 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. There is mild fluid signal in the bilateral mastoid air cells, left more than right. The bilateral middle ears also appear unremarkable. There are bilateral lens implants. There is scattered cerebral white matter T2 hyperintensity in the imaged portions of the brain.
1. No evidence of retrocochlear or inner ear lesions.2. Mild nonspecific fluid signal in the bilateral mastoid air cells, left more than right, which may represent effusions. I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report.
