Abstract

PurposeThis review aims to provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research progress on IP-III inner ear malformation, focusing on its geneticbasis, imaging features, cochlear implantation, and outcome.MethodsReview the literature on clinical and genetic mechanisms associated with IP-III.ResultsMutations in the POU3F4 gene emerge as the principal pathogenic contributors to IP-III anomalies, primarily manifesting through inner ear potential irregularities leading to deafness. While cochlear implantation stands as the primary intervention for restoring hearing, the unique nature of the inner ear anomaly escalates the complexity of surgical procedures and postoperative results. Hence, meticulous preoperative assessment to ascertain surgical feasibility and postoperative verification of electrode placement are imperative. Additionally, gene therapy holds promise as a prospective treatment modality.Conclusions IP-III denotes X-linked recessive hereditary deafness, with cochlear implantation currently serving as the predominant therapeutic approach. Clinicians are tasked with preoperative assement and individualized postoperative rehabilitation.
