  • Title: Deformity of the labyrinth and internal auditory meatus in congenital deafness.
    Author: Phelps PD, Lloyd GA, Sheldon PW.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 1975 Dec; 48(576):973-8. PubMed ID: 1218358.
    Abstract:
    In congenital deafness it is important that the radiological examination should exclude any deformities of the bony labyrinth or internal auditory meatus as well as demonstrating lesions of the middle and external ears. Radiological assessment of inner ear abnormalities should be used as a guide both to the feasibility of reconstructive surgery to the middle and external ears and for the future training of the child. Inner ear abnormalities demonstrated by tomography in 56 patients are discussed in relation to the cochlea function. The importance of demonstrating the central bony spiral of the cochlea and of assessing the size and shape the internal auditory meatus is stressed.
