Abstract:
We report the presentation and management of a unique case of bilateral congenitally absent stapes footplates, with an open vestibule, in a pediatric patient. This case adds to the few prior reports of this rare anomaly and highlights the advanced diagnostic imaging capability of the Photon Counting Detector CT (PCD-CT).
