title: Bilateral enlarged vestibular aqueduct with associated bilateral Mondini's dysplasia.
abstract: Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct (EVA) and Mondini's dysplasia (incomplete partitioning type II) are entitites that have been fairly well described in the literature as potential causes of hearing loss in the young. However, it is uncommon for this condition to be detected bilaterally, especially so for both conditions to coexist bilaterally in the same patient. This is a brief description of a patient with the above bilateral condition with attached high resolution CT scan images of the temporal bone to illustrate the case.
