Severe and persistent facial nerve stimulation after cochlear implantation in a patient with cochlear–facial dehiscence: a case report

Generally, cochlear implants (CIs) are effective in helping patients improve their hearing performance; however, some patients have poor hearing performance owing to facial nerve stimulation (FNS), which is often associated with cochlear anomalies. We report a case with a normal cochlea and severe a...
