AbstractObjective:We report a case of bilateral conductive hearing loss caused by stapedial suprastructure fixation with normal footplate mobility.Case report:A 50-year-old woman had suffered hearing loss in both ears since childhood. Exploratory tympanotomy revealed immobility of the stapes due to a bony bridge between the stapedial suprastructure and the fallopian canal. The incus was missing, while the malleus handle was minimally deformed. The mobility of the stapes footplate was normal. Post-operatively, the hearing in the right ear improved both subjectively and audiographically, while that in the left ear did not improve because of footplate subluxation during surgery.Conclusion:This is a rare case of congenital stapedial suprastructure fixation with normal footplate mobility. In this patient, development of the second branchial arch was arrested. When performing exploratory tympanotomy for stapedial fixation, one must keep in mind that normal footplate mobility is possible.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of primary otoscleroma.Method:We present a case report and a review of the world literature concerning otoscleroma.Results:An adult woman presented with chronic suppurative otitis media with tubotympanic disease and conductive hearing loss. On mastoid exploration, dark granulations were seen, which were identified as otoscleroma on histopathological examination. The patient responded well to streptomycin.Conclusion:To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of primary otoscleroma in the world literature. This case indicates that Frisch's bacillus can also spread to the middle ear.

AbstractObjective:To report a rare case of a symptomatic malleo-incudal osteoma, and to highlight the difficulties in making the clinical diagnosis.Method:Case report and literature review.Results:Malleo-incudal osteoma is a rare cause of unilateral conductive hearing loss. Its symptoms may mimic those of other otological causes of conductive hearing loss, such as otosclerosis.Conclusion:This case report highlights the challenges involved in establishing a clinical diagnosis of malleo-incudal osteoma. It also emphasises the importance of assessing the mobility of the divided ossicular chain during a planned stapedectomy.

AbstractIsolated congenital anomalies of the ossicles are rare. The majority of cases of congenital conductive hearing loss secondary to middle-ear anomalies have other associated defects, such as atresia, microtia and craniofacial deformities.We present a rare case of isolated congenital stapes suprastructure fixation, where a monocrural stapes with a mobile footplate was attached to the promontory by bony synostosis. There was no stapedius muscle nor pyramidal process. The incus and malleus were of normal configuration. Mobilization of the stapes from the promontory resulted in improvement in hearing. We believe this is the first reported case of such an abnormality. A review of the world literature of isolated stapes suprastructure ankylosis and the classifications of minor congenital anomalies are discussed.
