Middle ear vascular anomalies are an uncommon and frequently overlooked cause of conductive hearing loss (CHL). Their clinical presentation can mimic more prevalent conditions, making diagnosis and management challenging. Without appropriate imaging and evaluation, such cases may lead to unnecessary and potentially harmful interventions. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman with chronic right-sided CHL due to a vascular anomaly compressing the ossicles. This case underscores the critical role of high-resolution imaging in diagnosing rare etiologies of CHL and guiding safe, informed management.
中耳血管异常是传导性听力损失(CHL)的一种罕见且常被忽视的病因。它们的临床表现可能类似于更常见的病症,这使得诊断和治疗具有挑战性。如果没有适当的影像学检查和评估,此类病例可能会导致不必要且可能有害的干预措施。我们报告了一例31岁女性因血管异常压迫听小骨而导致慢性右侧CHL的病例。该病例强调了高分辨率成像在诊断CHL罕见病因以及指导安全、明智治疗方面的关键作用。
