To discuss the clinical approach in managing patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome.
Over the period from November 1997 to March 2005, 106 children have been fitted with cochlear implants in Antwerp University Hospital (UZA). The Hospital University of Maastricht (azM) had implanted 36 children since 1999 to March 2005. The present study focuses on nine children and one adult patient with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS). The medical, report and radiology report were retrospectively analysed.
Eight out of nine children with LVAS had been implanted and one child was on the waiting list. One adult patient was implanted with Nucleus 24M at the age of 22 years old. Nine out of 10 patients had bilateral large vestibular aqueduct. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications encountered.
Cochlear implantation is a safe operation for patients with LVAS.
探讨大前庭导水管综合征患者的临床治疗方法。
1997年11月至2005年3月期间，安特卫普大学医院（UZA）为106名儿童植入了人工耳蜗。马斯特里赫特大学医院（azM）自1999年至2005年3月为36名儿童植入了人工耳蜗。本研究聚焦于9名患有大前庭导水管综合征（LVAS）的儿童和1名成年患者。对其病历报告和放射学报告进行了回顾性分析。
9名患有LVAS的儿童中有8名接受了植入手术，1名儿童在等待名单上。1名成年患者在22岁时植入了Nucleus 24M。10名患者中有9名双侧存在大前庭导水管。未出现术中或术后并发症。
人工耳蜗植入术对LVAS患者来说是一种安全的手术。
