This research presents a unique observation of congenital conductive hearing loss linked to an atypical pathway of the facial nerve covering the oval window-a condition first reported by Henner. We explore the case of a 13-year-old boy suffering from lifelong bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. Diagnostic imaging via high-resolution computed tomography of the temporal bone disclosed the unusual positioning of the facial nerves bilaterally, emphasizing the role of precise imaging in identifying uncommon anatomical deviations that impact clinical decisions.
本研究呈现了一种与覆盖卵圆窗的面神经非典型走行相关的先天性传导性听力损失的独特观察结果——这是亨纳首次报道的一种病症。我们探讨了一名患有终生双侧听力损失和耳鸣的13岁男孩的病例。通过颞骨高分辨率计算机断层扫描进行的诊断成像显示双侧面神经位置异常，强调了精确成像在识别影响临床决策的罕见解剖变异中的作用。
