title: [Contraindication for cochlear implantation in Wildervanck's syndrome].
abstract: A case of 4-year-old boy with Wildervanck's syndrome and associated profound sensorineural hearing loss is presented. The child was disqualified from cochlear implantation following the CT scan of petrous pyramids which revealed inner ear malformation. The authors emphasize role of CT imaging in the management of profound sensorineural hearing loss in children before final qualification for cochlear implantation.
