Özet

BACKGROUND: It is aimed to investigate the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid gusher in cochlear implantation and the association between cerebrospinal fluid gusher and inner-ear malformations in adult and pediatric patients. METHODS: A retrospective case review of 1025 primary cochlear implantation procedures was performed. Patients with inner-ear malformation or cerebrospinal fluid gusher during primary cochlear implantation were included and divided into 2 groups according to age: pediatric and adult groups. RESULTS: The incidence of inner-ear malformation was 4.19% (17/405) and 7.6% (47/620) in the adult and pediatric groups, respectively. There was a significant difference in the incidence of inner-ear malformation in the pediatric group. The incidence of cerebrospinal fluid gusher was 0.9% (4/405) and 4.1% (26/620) in the adult and pediatric groups, respectively. There was a significant difference in the incidence of gusher between the adult and pediatric groups. CONCLUSION: The incidence of a cerebrospinal fluid gusher is higher in the pediatric group, compared to adults due to a higher rate of inner-ear malformation. Inner-ear malformation poses a risk factor for cerebrospinal fluid gusher.
