Neuroimaging

Patient Exams Inner Ear Vasculature Comments
A1 CT brain and
petrous bone
Bilateral CCD with narrow right internal
auditory canal
Bilateral hypoplastic ICA;
enlarged vertebrobasilar
system and Pcoms
B1 MRI brain Right: Aplasia of inner ear structures
(cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular
canals); absent internal auditory canal
Left: CCD with narrow internal auditory
canal
Hypoplastic left ICA;
enlarged basilar artery
White matter volume
reduction and thin
corpus callosum due to
periventricular
leukomalacia secondary
to hypoxic-ischemic
insult
C1 MRI brain Right: Aplasia of inner ear structures
(cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular
canals); absent internal auditory canal
and vestibulocochlear nerve; facial
nerve runs in an anomalous canal in
the petrous bone
Left : Hypoplastic cochlea with basal
turn and part of the second turn
present; hypoplastic vestibule and
semicircular canals; normal
vestibulocochlear nerve with wide
internal auditory canal
Hypoplastic left ICA
Enlarged left Pcom and
basilar artery; absent 6th
CNs bilaterally
Abducens cranial nerves
not seen; oculomotor
nerves visible
F1 MRI brain Reported normal, but images not
reviewed

CCD = common cavity deformity; ICA = internal carotid artery; Pcom = posterior communicating artery; CNs = cranial nerves
