Objective: Clinical report on feasibility and outcome of a surgical procedure.
Patient: Nine-year-old child, supplied with a transcutaneous bone conduction hearing implant, requiring magnetic resonance imaging of the head to exclude a tumor of the pituitary gland.
Intervention: Temporal removal and subsequent reimplantation of the implant in a single surgical procedure.
Main outcome measure: Postoperative audiometric results.
Conclusion: Under specific clinical circumstances, temporary removal of the transcutaneous bone conduction implant described, is technically accomplishable.
