Cochlear implantation is safe for simple case presentations. However, facial nerve (FN) aberrations may impede insertion of the electrode through a round window and increase the risk of iatrogenic FN injury. We developed a novel method of cochlear implantation, a present the case of a child with FN aberrations. Inferior displacement of a horizontal segment of FN lay on the surface of th e promontory, obscuring the round window. The oval window was used and the electrode successfully inserted. No postoperative complications occurred, and significant improvement in speech perception was achieved. This novel approach is suitable for patients with FN aberrations.
