The Results of Computer Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of a rare case of Bilateral Inner Ear Aplazia

Abstract

The results of computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a rare case the analysis of the images is performed and a detailed description of changes on CT and MRI studies is given. This case of aplasia is characterized by symmetrical agenesia of the of bilateral aplasia of cochlea and semicircular canals of the inner ear are presented. In this article cochlea and semicircular canals, and bilateral abnormality of the facial nerve canal, and abnormality of the internal auditory foramen on both sides, as well as unilateral agenesis of the abducent nerve and bilateral agenesis vestibulocochlear nerve.
