Abstract
Congenital anomalies of the ossicular chain are a rare condition in clinical
practice. In literature described different variants of the ossicular chain
anomaly from stapes footplate ankylosis to complete aplasia of the ossicular
chain, oval, and round window.
Possible congenital ossicular chain anomaly should be suspected in case of
non-progressive conductive hearing loss with a normal ear drum during an
otoscopic examination, without a history of previous ear infections or
trauma.
In this article, we described the clinical case of congenital ossicular
chain anomaly presented as fixed incus. Stapes was presented as single,
straight, broad crus that were attached to the central part of the
footplate. Stapedius tendon was absent. The footplate was completely mobile.
Exploratory tympanotomy was performed to confirm a diagnosis of congenital
ossicular chain anomaly. The ossicular chain was reconstructed with PORP
titanium prosthesis. Furthermore, a literature review was done, conclusions
presented. |
