Abstract:
Ossicles are easily injured with head trauma. The most common injury occurs at incudostapedial joint and this separation prevents the consequent injury to inner ear structures. Although stapes crura fractures after head trauma are not uncommon in otologic field, the most are combined injury and isolated crura fractures are uncommon in the clinical field. We have experienced a case of isolated stapedial crura fractures and we report it here with a review of literature.
