title: Anomalous interposition of air cells between the middle and inner ear.
abstract: Combination of middle and inner ear anomaly is extremely rare. We describe a case where there was inner and middle ear anomaly on the right side and inner ear anomaly on the left side. This patient also had anomalous interposition of air cells between the middle and inner ear on the right side which precluded the use of cochlear implant. No such findings have been reported till date to the best of our knowledge.
