Figure 7

Four fold-overs were observed, depicted on the left with uncoiled cochlear reconstructions and on the right with conventional reconstructions. In (A–C) a PM array was used. Two tip fold-overs occurred at similar position (see A,B), approximately at insertion depth of 180°, while the other tip fold-over occurred deeper at around 270° (C). Finally, in (D) a case with a basal fold-over had occurred using the LW array. In both reconstruction techniques the fold-overs were clearly seen. PM perimodiolar, LW lateral wall.
