Cochlear implantation in pediatric patients with Cockayne Syndrome.
Cockayne Syndrome (CS) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a spectrum of phenotypic abnormalities, including progressive sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) that involves both peripheral and central components. To date, a single series of CS patients undergoing cochlear implant (CI) placement has been reported; this study reports on additional previously unreported pediatric CI recipients. Subjective benefits were noted early after activation in both patients, and speech perception scores improved over time as well, varying from 42 to 70% (versus 0-12% previously). Thus, we report that cochlear implantation in pediatric patients with CS can be effective in the management of progressive SNHL.
