Abstract (english)
Aim: To present two cases of late complications of cochlear implantation. Case report: In both cases extracochlear extrusion of the implant electrode occurred. More than ten years after successful cochlear implantation, the hearing performance gradually worsened to the point of no intelligibility in both patients. Otomicroscopy revealed chronic otitis media (COM) with an electrode in the external ear canal in implanted ears of both patients. Extracochlear electrode extrusion was noticed on CT scans in both cases. In the first case the device was explanted, the electrode was left in the cochlea and tympanoplasty was performed. Regardless the normal status of the middle ear, extracochlear extrusion occurred again. Conclusion: After extracochlear electrode extrusion, the reimplantation is likely to be unsuccessful.
Abstract (croatian)
Cilj: Prikazati dva slučaja kasnih komplikacija kohlearne implantacije. Prikaz slučaja: U oba slučaja radilo se o ekstrakohlearnoj ekstruziji elektrode umjetne pužnice. Više od deset godina nakon implantacije u oba pacijenta sluh je postepeno slabio do potpune nerazumljivosti. Otomikroskopijom je u oba pacijenta utvrđena kronična upala uha uz prisutnost elektrode u zvukovodu. Učinjena je kompjutorizirana tomografija koja je potvrdila ekstrakohlearnu ekstruziju elektrode. U prvom slučaju učinjena je eksplantacija umjetne pužnice, pri čemu je elektroda ostavljena u kohleji te timpanoplastika. Usprkos urednom cijeljenju uha, ekstruzija elektrode se ponovila. Zaključak: Nakon ekstrakohlearne ekstruzije elektrode velika je mogućnost da će reimplantacija biti neuspješna.
