“…Meningitis is known to be a risk factor in CI outcome [23,24,26] and can affect the brain tissue as well as the cranial nerves, such as the vestibulocochlear nerve [51,56]. The aetiology 'congenital' is described in the literature as heterogeneous; a genetic cause can be present in up to 50% of cases [51,57]. This aetiological category includes hypoxia, which can cause severe global brain damage with impaired cognition [58].…”
