Abstract
- Cochlear implantation is the treatment of choice for patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss. Neurofibromatosis type II is a multiple tumor syndrome caused by gene mutation, and MRI is necessary for follow up. When patients with cochlear implantation undergo MRI, pain, dislocation of the device, and artifacts of the image are common problems. The degree of image artifacts may vary depending on the implant position. We report a case of neurofibromatosis type II diagnosed in a patient, who received cochlear implantation in a position most optimal for observation of vestibular schwannoma via MRI.
