Dislocation of the cochlear implant magnet is an uncommon but recognised complication of magnetic resonance imaging in a patient with a cochlear implant.Case reportThis paper reports a case of cochlear implant magnet dislocation despite head bandaging. The patient subsequently underwent endoscopic repositioning of the magnet under general anaesthesia. The cochlear implant system was tested intra-operatively and confirmed to be functioning. The patient was well at follow up and the small wound healed well with no complications.
This report presents the endoscopic technique as a viable minimally invasive surgical approach to address cochlear implant magnet dislocation.
人工耳蜗磁体脱位是人工耳蜗植入患者磁共振成像中一种罕见但已被认识到的并发症。
病例报告
本文报告一例尽管头部包扎但仍发生人工耳蜗磁体脱位的病例。该患者随后在全身麻醉下接受了内镜下磁体重定位。术中对人工耳蜗系统进行了测试，确认其功能正常。患者随访情况良好，小伤口愈合良好，无并发症。
本报告介绍了内镜技术作为一种可行的微创外科手术方法来处理人工耳蜗磁体脱位。
