A Variant of Michel’s Aplasia: A Case Report
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2010, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Michel‘s aplasia is the total absence of inner ear structures associatedwith other skull base anomalies, and is usually bilateral with a genetic origin due to new mutations, inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. We report a patient with total absence of inner ear structures only on the left side and associated abnormal courseof jugular vein suggesting a sporadic origin of this entity as well.
