| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: Although rare, complications in cochlear implantation may result from surgical or technical mishaps, reaction to the foreign body, infection, or mechanical device failure. Delayed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is a rarely reported condition that may present with asymptomatic swelling over the receiver-stimulator (RS). In our practice, meticulous drilling of a bony well is important in preventing device migration and maintaining a low device profile but there is the potential for immediate or delayed complication from this technique. OBJECTIVE: We report two cases of the diagnosis and management of delayed extradural CSF collection of the RS bony well and describe its successful management. PATIENTS: Two pediatric cochlear implant patients, 10 and 17 months of age with devices from different manufacturers. INTERVENTION(S): Operative exploration and repair without device removal. MAIN OUTCOME AND RESULTS: Although the initial postoperative course was uncomplicated with both patients receiving benefit from their device, both presented at varying intervals month(s) later with swelling over the RS. There were no signs of infection but the swelling prevented use of the device. Extradural CSF collection was suspected, confirmed operatively, and repaired with complete resolution without the need for reimplantation. CONCLUSION: Delayed CSF leak may present as an asymptomatic swelling over the RS after cochlear implantation. Sterile fluid aspiration may confirm the diagnosis and management can proceed conservatively or with operative exploration and repair. Future device designs with lower profiles may facilitate device fixation while allowing for a more shallow well, further reducing the risk of this rare complication. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
