Abstract:
We report the first case of unilateral incus agenesis in the literature. Preoperative diagnosis by virtual endoscopy further enhances the significance of this case. We present thin-section temporal bone computed tomographic images and 3-dimensional reconstructed views which were all correlated with intraoperative findings. The patient was successfully treated with an ossicular prosthesis replacement.
