To describe the audiological, anesthesiological, and surgical key points of cochlear implantation after bacterial meningitis in very young infants.<jats:italic>Material and Methods<\/jats:italic>. Between 2005 and 2010, 4 patients received 7 cochlear implants before the age of 9 months (range 4\u20138 months) because of profound hearing loss after pneumococcal meningitis.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Full electrode insertions were achieved in all operated ears. The audiological and linguistic outcome varied considerably, with categories of auditory performance (CAP) scores between 3 and 6, and speech intelligibility rating (SIR) scores between 0 and 5. The audiological, anesthesiological, and surgical issues that apply in this patient group are discussed.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Cochlear implantation in very young postmeningitic infants is challenging due to their young age, sequelae of meningitis, and the risk of cochlear obliteration. A swift diagnostic workup is essential, specific audiological, anesthesiological, and surgical considerations apply, and the outcome is variable even in successful implantations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2011\/845879","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,20]],"date-time":"2011-12-20T21:02:59Z","timestamp":1324414979000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Cochlear Implantation after Bacterial Meningitis in Infants Younger Than 9 Months"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2011","author":[{"given":"B.
