A case of congenital ossicular malformation with mild auricular deformity: embryological and surgical considerations.
A case of bilateral congenital conductive deafness with mild auricular deformity is presented, and the anomalous structure deformity of the ossicles was multi-focal in this case, and a previous report indicates that ossicular malformation in the ear with congenital conductive deafness is multi-focal when the external ear is only slightly deformed. Bilateral ossicular reconstruction with replacement of the stapes yielded satisfactory results.
