ABSTRACT

Severe to profound sensoryneural hearing loss can be originated by many factors including: congenital, infections, metabolic disorders, traumatic, postquirurgical and unknown etiologies.
Computed Tomography (CT) has been used in the evaluation of patients with sensoryneural hearing loss who will have undergone cochlear implants. To date, CT and MR are very useful tools to detect normal and morphologic abnormalities encountered in patients with deafness.
The purpose of this study is to show our experience in patient with sensoryneural hearing loss due to labyrinthine ossification, mainly studied by CT, and show the findings observed in bony labyrinth.
