title: [CT and MRI study in severe sensorineural hearing loss in children].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the value of CT and MRI in diagnosing the children with sensorineural hearing loss.
  
  
  METHODS
  Ninety-six cases suspected as severe sensorineural hearing loss were examined by CT/MRI system and 3D reconstruction.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of 96 cases, 15 cases were found malformation these malformation included Michel, cochlear hypoplasia, commun cavity, Mondini, inner canal straitness, cochlear nerve undeveloped and vestibular aqueduct enlargements.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There are 15.63% inner ear malformation occurred in sensorineural hearing loss children. CT and MRI of inner ear have a great clinical value in diagnosing children sensorineural hearing loss by learning the anatomy.
