Abstract
Purpose
The present systematic review examined imaging findings in the Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) population.
Methods
Electronic databases such as Pub Med, Google Scholar, J Gate, and Science Direct were used to conduct a literature search. The articles retrieved through the literature search were assessed in two stages. In the first stage, title and abstract screening were done; in the second stage, a full-length article review was done. From the 379 shortlisted records, 19 articles were chosen for the full-length review.
Results
The selected articles performed imaging using Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In most studies, cochlear nerve deficiency (CND) was the most prevalent anomaly in the ANSD group. Also, MRI was the imaging modality of choice recommended in most studies. It was also noted that CND was a characteristic feature of unilateral ANSD.
Conclusion
From this systematic review, it is clear that integrating imaging studies into diagnostic protocol would help to understand the underlying pathology better and expedite decision-making and intervention for ANSD patients.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Otology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes research findings from disciplines related to both clinical and basic science aspects of auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear. This journal welcomes submissions describing original experimental research that may improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying problems of basic or clinical significance and treatment of patients with disorders of the auditory and vestibular systems. In addition to original papers the journal also offers invited review articles on current topics written by leading experts in the field. The journal is of primary importance for all scientists and practitioners interested in audiology, otology and neurotology, auditory neurosciences and related disciplines. Journal of Otology welcomes contributions from scholars in all countries and regions across the world.
