title: The Lacrimo-Auriculo-Dento-Digital (LADD) syndrome: temporal bone CT findings.
abstract: The temporal bone CT examination of a 16-year-old female patient with the LADD syndrome or Levy-Hollister syndrome showed multiple bilateral middle as well as inner ear malformations. Ossicular chain anomalies were seen, especially of the incus and stapes. The oval window was very narrow to absent. Both cochleas were hypoplastic and showed modiolar deficiency. A common cavity between the vestibule and lateral semicircular canal was bilaterally present.
