MRI surveillance after translabyrinthine vestibular schwannoma resection and cochlear implantation: is it feasible?

ConclusionMagnetic resonance imaging surveillance of the internal auditory canal following vestibular schwannoma resection and cochlear implantation is feasible and safe with modern implants with a 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging device using metal artifact reduction sequences. Necessary follow-up imaging should not be a contraindication for cochlear implantation in patients with vestibular schwannomas.
