Mondini malformation occurs when there is abnormal development of the cochlea resulting in less than 2.5 turns and incomplete formation of the modiolus.
Mondini malformation refers to an anomaly of the cochlea in which the modiolus fails to develop properly in the seventh week of fetal life, resulting in a cochlea with only 1.5 turns instead of the normal 2.5 turns. In addition, the interscalar septum between the middle and apical segments fails to form leading to a confluent, sac-like cochlea.
There is an association with an enlarged vestibular aqueduct and anomalies of the vestibules and semicircular canals. In some cases, Mondini malformation may also be associated with Pendred Syndrome (bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and goiter)
