Abstract

Temporal bone dehiscence is an infrequent but clinically important phenomenon. Cochlear–facial dehiscence, the rarest type, has been described only in adults. We report cochlear–facial dehiscence in a child. Knowledge of this entity is imperative for radiologists searching for anatomical markers of inner ear pathology and for cochlear implant planning.
