A persistent stapedial artery, a rare vascular anomaly, was identified in a patient with conductive hearing loss. This finding offers new insights into vascular variations in the temporal bone.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular anatomy
  • Neuro-otology
  • Medical imaging

Background:

  • Conductive hearing loss can arise from various anatomical abnormalities.
  • The stapedial artery is typically a transient fetal structure.
  • Variations in cranial base vasculature are clinically significant.

Observation:

  • Computed tomography (CT) revealed an unusual vascular structure.
  • The vessel originated from the carotid canal and traversed the stapes.
  • It connected to the facial nerve canal.

Findings:

  • A persistent stapedial artery was identified, a rare vascular anomaly.
  • The artery coursed through a small bony channel alongside the facial nerve.
  • Otoendoscopy confirmed the vascular structure's presence.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare vascular anomaly potentially contributing to hearing loss.
  • Understanding such variations is crucial for surgical planning in otology and neurosurgery.
  • Further research may elucidate the role of persistent stapedial arteries in auditory function.
