“…The facial nerve has been reported to show abnormal lateral and anterior displacement in these patients (4,5,(7)(8)(9)15,16). However, few investigators report quantitative objective evidence indicating that in patients with congenital aural atresia, the facial nerve runs more laterally and anteriorly than that in control subjects (5,9).…”

“…TCS is most often characterized by hypoplasia of the zygomatic bones and the mandible, external ear abnormalities, coloboma and absence of the cilia of the lower eyelid, and preauricular hair displacement [1]. Other less common abnormalities include cleft palate with or without cleft lip and unilateral or bilateral choanal stenosis or atresia.…”

Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is an inherited developmental disorder. More than 40% of individuals with TCS have conductive hearing loss attributed to external and middle ear anomalies. Mild cases of TCS often pass undiagnosed at birth or early childhood. The disease may be manifested as conductive hearing loss in teenagers and may resemble juvenile otosclerosis. Patients could suffer from slight facial variabilities including retrognathia (as in our case) and others, which point out to a possible middle ear anomaly. Surgical corrections of middle ear anomalies including TCS generally lead to poorer outcomes comparing with juvenile otosclerosis, which should be discussed with parents during preoperative counselling.

“…70 Other findings include atresia or stenosis of the external canal, hypoplasia of the tympanic cavity, a slitlike attic, and abnormal course of the facial nerve. 71 In the setting of hemifacial microsomia, 86% of patients have conductive hearing loss associated with stenosis or atresia of the external auditory canal, ossicular malformation and atresia and hypoplasia of the oval window. 72 Although typically unilateral, up to 30% of patients with hemifacial microsomia have bilateral otologic findings.…”
