Abstract

We report the first case of isolated stapedial dislocation caused by indirect head trauma, and present imaging and surgical findings in the case of a 25-year-old woman who suffered hearing loss and dizziness after head trauma caused by a traffic accident. The pure tone average was 60 dB, with an air-bone gap of 50 dB. The stapedial reflex was positive with the probe on the affected ear. Computed tomography scans revealed a longitudinal fracture of the temporal bone and a dislocated stapedial superstructure in the tympanic cavity, adhering to the tympanic membrane. During surgery, it was found that the stapes was broken at the base of the posterior crus and at the anterior one third of the footplate and that the stapedial superstructure was dislocated outward and downward, with the anterior one third of the footplate adhering to the tympanic membrane. The stapedial tendon was connected to the superstructure. Ossicular chain reconstruction was performed with success. In the present case, two mechanisms may have acted together: 1) an increase in perilymphatic pressure that caused the footplate to fracture, and 2) a distorting force that broke the posterior crus, disconnecting the incudostapedial joint, and finally dislocating the stapedial superstructure together with the anterior part of the footplate.
