A case of recurrent meningitis due to a congenital stapes footplate defect is reported. This is the first case to be reported in which a bilateral defect has been clearly demonstrated. A suggestion is made that any future cases which have a defect on one side, might benefit from a prophylactic exploration on the seemingly uninvolved ear, providing that these cases are shown to have a bilateral total sensori-neural hearing loss.
报告了一例因先天性镫骨足板缺损导致的复发性脑膜炎病例。这是首例明确显示双侧缺损的病例报告。建议对于未来任何一侧有缺损的病例，如果显示为双侧全感音神经性听力损失，对看似未受累的耳朵进行预防性探查可能有益。
