Brief Answer:
MRI findings shows infection in both ears with soft tissue opacity.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

MRI findings shows infection in both ears with soft tissue opacity in external auditory canal of both ears.
Infection is generally a treatable condition.
Nature of soft tissue in distal part of external auditory canal of both ears is not clear.She may need biopsy of the mass to assess its exact nature.

Other findings are normal.
MRI findings are not very serious.It may indicate treatable condition.

Your daughter need proper evaluation by a ENT specialist.

Brief Answer:
Major problem is no response from ABR tests.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Sorry for replying late

Feel sorry about the condition.Major problem is no response from ABR tests.She may be advised for cochlear implant after evaluation.
Soft tissue blocking EAC is not expected to cause negative ABR test.

Mastoid air cell and middle ear opacification may be due to infective etiology.It is a treatable condition but major finding i,e negative ABR need proper attention.
