Semicircular canal aplasia: radiologic spectrum and clinical correlations on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the radiologic characteristics of semicircular canal aplasia in patients with congenital hearing loss.
• Conducted systematic assessments of internal auditory canal (IAC) and vestibular structures using CT and MRI.
• Analyzed radiologic findings to identify IAC narrowing and vestibular dysplasia.
• Focused on implications for cochlear implant planning and genetic evaluation.
• Identified specific radiologic features associated with IAC narrowing.
• Found a correlation between vestibular dysplasia and planning for cochlear implants.
• Provided insights into syndromic and genetic evaluations based on radiologic findings.
