Can cochlear implantation be safely performed in a child with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome?
Cochlear implantation can be relatively safely performed in patients with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome when proper perioperative cardiac precautions are followed.

Cautious cochlear implantation may be feasible in Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome with cardiac protocols; leaves open prospective safety confirmation.
Green et al. (2000) conducted a case report in Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (n=1). Cochlear implantation was evaluated on Clinical response and safety (speech comprehension, cardiac events). Cochlear implantation was successfully performed in a child with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, resulting in improved speech comprehension over 11 months despite a subsequent syncopal episode.
