Wound infection is a rare but serious problem after cochlear implant (CI) surgery. To date, no consensus has been reached on the decision to remove a CI in the setting of severe infection. This report documents a long-term CI wound infection that causes mastoiditis in a pediatric patient. After conservative management by intravenous antibiotics, surgical debridement, and a redesigned flap, the decision was made to explant the device. If CI wound infection recurs for ＞6 weeks or if purulence is in direct contact with the device, then explantation becomes necessary for wound recovery.
