Congenital Ossicular Anomalies without Deformity of the External Ear

[Congenital anomalies of the ossicles without deformities of the external ear].

Anomaly of the ossicles is frequently seen in a patient with congenital anomalies of the head or face, such as congenital obstruction of the external ear canal, Treacher Collins syndrome or cephalopathy. Congenital anomaly of the ossicles however is not a rare occurrence even in a patient without anomalies of the head or face. Here, we would present our own experience with six cases of congenit...

Congenital anomalies of the ear

Congenital anatomical anomalies of the ear are rare. It is difficult to assess accurately the incidence of anomalies per thousand live births because some are not associated with a gross anatomical deformity of the external ear. Since the majority appear to be unilateral, it is probable that there are people who go through life with a unilateral congenital conductive deafness which is never det...

CLASSIFICATION OF CONGENITAL MIDDLE AND EXTERNAL EAR MALFORMATIONS: CT STUDY

The authors used high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) for studying 52 congenitally malformed ears in 45 children between five and 10 years of age. In six children the malformations were bilateral. The malformations clinically manifested as microtia, atresia of the external auditory canal and conductive deafness. Analyzing anatomical details and pathological changes on HRCT axial sec...
