Clin Case Rep. 2022 Jan 17;10(1):e05279. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.5279. eCollection 2022 Jan.

Abstract

Many congenital ossicular chain malformations exist, usually involving ossicular deformities, fixation, absence, or discontinuity. Duplication of ossicles has not been reported, much less a duplicated ossicle located in the mastoid. We present a case of a patient who had a duplicated incus in the mastoid antrum.

Keywords: congenital ossicular malformation; mastoidectomy; otology; otorrhea; tympanoplasty.
