“…There are only a few publications about this rare pathologic middle ear entity, and only some are useful for comparison. 3,7,14,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] In this series, thorough descriptions of the deformities and accurate reports enabled us to distinguish between various corresponding deformities. Therefore, it was possible to isolate the surgical findings and results of the patients who were diagnosed as having stapes ankylosis with a concomitant other ossicular chain anomaly.…”

Surgery for congenital stapes footplate ankylosis with a concomitant ossicular chain anomaly can provide worthwhile hearing improvement. The ABG closure was 20 dB or less in 21 of 30 ears (70%). Most ears had some sensorineural impairment (10-20 dB), which influenced the final hearing level after surgery. Over recent decades, the technique of the malleostapedotomy procedure has been improved. Preoperative assessment is mandatory for syndromal diagnoses, which might be important for patient counseling and prognosis.

“…Several reports have appeared in which the results of operative treatment for stapes ankylosis were published separately. 13,14,16,17 However, none of the previous authors distinguished between patients with isolated stapes ankylosis and patients with stapes ankylosis with an associated congenital ossicular chain anomaly.…”

The surgical findings in 144 successive ears operated on for congenital conductive hearing loss were analyzed, and the results were evaluated in terms of hearing gain. All the patients underwent middle ear surgery at the University Hospital Nijmegen between 1964 and 1990. A classification system was developed to analyze the findings. Class 1 comprises ears with congenital isolated stapes ankylosis. Class 2 comprises ears with congenital stapes ankylosis in combination with a congenital anomaly of the ossicular chain. Class 3 comprises ears with congenital anomalies of the ossicular chain and at least a mobile stapes footplate. Class 4 comprises ears with aplasia or severe dysplasia of the oval window or round window.

“…Histopathologische Untersuchungen von House zeigten, dass die otosklerotische Fußplatte hingegen eine erhöhte Vaskularisation im vorderen FP-Anteil aufweist [8]. Die Grenze zwischen FP und Ligamentum anulare ist im vorderen Anteil schwer auszumachen, während im hinteren Anteil der Übergang sichtbar ist.…”
