Congenital absence of the oval window

The Laryngoscope
P R Lambert

Abstract

From 1983 to 1987, seven patients with conductive hearing loss were found to have congenital absence of the oval window. Six of these patients underwent vestibulotomies and reconstruction with House wires or total ossicular reconstruction prostheses. Surgical findings included absent or rudimentary stapes in all cases, abnormal facial nerves in four cases, and abnormal long processes of the incus in four cases. All patients had normal external ear canals and tympanic membranes. Hearing initially improved 20 to 45 dB in four of the six patients reconstructed. Over time, however, much of this initial hearing gain was lost. A marked difference in hearing results was evident between this series of absent oval window cases and a recent series of major atresia cases.
