Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the underlying anomalies in patients with congenital hearing loss by high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Materials and Methods: Fourteen cases presented as congenital hearing loss were studied. All of them underwent HRCT study. Results: HRCT can delineate all the structures comprising the ear. Among the 14 cases, 4 had anomalies in the external ear, 3 in the ossicles, 2 in the inner ear, 4 in both external and middle ears, and 1 in the external and inner ear. HRCT can demonstrate the anomalies in detail. Conclusion: HRCT is still the 'gold standard' in evaluating the ear structures. It plays a significant role in the assessment and management of patients with congenital deafness.
