ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To report the rare case of a patient with complete incus dislocation after trauma showing normal hearing.METHODOLOGY:
Physical examination, audiometry, CT of temporal bone, and detection during operation.RESULTS:
The incus had become remotely located in the mastoid cavity, but the patient showed normal hearing because fibrous connections had preserved bony continuity.CONCLUSION:
This case demonstrates that disruption of the ossicular chain does not always require ossicular reconstruction.
