ABSTRACT

The bony cochlear nerve canal transmits the cochlear nerve as it passes from the fundus of the internal auditory canal to the cochlea. Stenosis of the cochlear nerve canal, defined as a diameter less than 1.0 mm in transverse diameter, is associated with inner ear anomalies and severe to profound congenital hearing loss. We describe an 11-month-old infant with nonsyn dromic congenital sensorineural hearing loss with cochlear nerve canal stenosis. Next-generation sequencing revealed heterozygous mutations in MYH9 and MYH14, encoding for the inner ear proteins myosin heavy chain IIA and IIC. The patient's hearing was rehabilitated with bilateral cochlear implantation.
