1.Neuroimaging preoperative assesment of the temporal bone. Anatomic factors that may make electrode insertion difficult or result in electrode  malposition 2.Inner ear malformations that may occur in pediatric cochlear implantation (CI) candidates 3.Neuroimaging findings in children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and special needs 4.Review of the overall indications/contraindications for CI. New indications in children with special needs. 5.The role of the multidisciplinary team (ORL,psycologist,speech therapist,neuropediatrician,social worker, radiologist) 6.Postoperative imaging of the CI

1.Multidisdisciplinary evaluation of the pediatric patient candidate for cochlear implantation (CI) What the radiologist needs to know 2.Hearing problems in children with special needs. Inner ear  malformations. Syndromes associated with SNHL. Children with multiple medical problems and developmental disorders 3.Preoperative inner ear evaluation. Cochlear assesment and specific measurements to guide the CI electrode election 4.Neuroimaging findings in pediatric sensorineural hearing loss and special needs:case-based review of our Center´s experience (60 pediatric CI/per year) 5.Postoperative neuroimaging assesment. Complications and malposition. Prognostic factors and outcome evaluation.
