An isolated traumatic fracture of the malleus handle
نویسنده
چکیده
Traumatic fracture of the malleus handle without tympanic membrane perforation is a rare incidence. Diagnosis of conductive hearing loss can only be confirmed with manipulation of the ossicles under sedation as computerized tomography is not informative. We present a 39-year-old lady with Q-tip injury when she get sudden phone call.

Middle Ear Virtual Endoscopy in Malleus Fracture and Dislocation
Ossicular injury is a frequent complication of head trauma and temporal bone fractures. An isolated fracture of the malleus with lateral dislocation of the manubrium is extremely rare. High-resolution computed tomography is the method of choice for evaluation of ossicular trauma. Virtual endoscopy (VE) is a novel technique that provides a realistic surface rendering of various organs that can b...
متن کاملStapes Crural Fracture without Perilymph Fistula by Q-Tip Injury
We report a rare case where Q-tip induced mixed hearing loss without perilymph fistula and demonstrate the need for computed tomography imaging with three-dimensional reconstruction where fracture and dislocation of the stapes are suspected. A 28-year-old male experienced an accidental penetrating injury by a Q-tip in the right ear 6 years previously. Temporal bone computed tomography revealed ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Radiocapitellar Arthritis in Patients with a Second Radiograph at Least 2 Years after Nonoperative Treatment of an Isolated Radial Head Fracture
Background: To study if patients that have a second radiograph 2 or more years after nonoperative treatment of an isolated radial head fracture have radiocapitellar osteoarthritis (RC OA). Methods: We used the database of 3 academic hospitals in one health system from 1988 to 2013 to find patients with isolated radial head fractures (no associated ligament injury or fracture) that had a second ...
متن کاملMalleus replacement prosthesis stapedectomy in a patient with otosclerosis.
INTRODUCTION Different types of titanium prostheses are used for different types of ossicular chain reconstruction (OCR). However, various ossicular chain problems require different types of reconstruction (incus or prosthesis). Recently, Vincent et al. published a new type of ossiculoplasty with a malleus replacement prosthesis (MRP). The details of this new prosthesis are described in their a...
متن کاملMorphology and morphometrical study of hamster middle ear bones
The objective of the current study was to determine the anatomical features of the auditory ossicles inhamster. Twenty temporal bones from 10 adult hamsters, weighing 275-300 g were used. After dissectingthem, the features of the ossicles were assessed with an ocular micrometer and photographed by astereomicroscope. Finally, all data were evaluated and analysed using the Sigma Statt software. T...
