    Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed various causes of congenital conductive hearing loss in 25 patients. Ossicular deformities were the most common finding, followed by congenital cholesteatoma.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Congenital conductive hearing loss presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Computed tomography (CT) is crucial for evaluating middle ear anomalies.
    • Understanding the origin of congenital hearing loss aids in treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize CT findings in patients with congenital conductive hearing loss.
    • To classify middle ear deformities based on their origin (ossicular, fenestral, cholesteatomatous).
    • To differentiate congenital cholesteatoma from acquired lesions using CT.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of CT scans from 25 patients with congenital conductive hearing loss.
    • Classification of abnormalities into ossicular, fenestral, and cholesteatomatous categories.

  • Correlation of imaging findings with clinical presentation.

    • Main Results:

    • Ossicular deformities were identified in 14 patients (5 bilateral), including incudostapedial disconnections, malleoincudal fixations, and stapes fixations.
    • Congenital cholesteatoma was found in 8 patients, with CT appearance similar to acquired lesions.
    • Other findings included oval-window nondevelopment and congenital stapes fixation.

    Conclusions:

    • CT imaging is effective in diagnosing the diverse causes of congenital conductive hearing loss.
    • Ossicular anomalies, often linked to first or second branchial arch development, are prevalent.
    • Congenital cholesteatoma can be identified on CT, often mimicking acquired forms.
