  • Title: Unusual middle-ear mischief: trans-tympanic trauma from a hair grip resulting in ossicular, facial nerve and oval window disruption.
    Author: Snelling JD, Bennett A, Wilson P, Wickstead M.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2006 Sep; 120(9):793-5. PubMed ID: 16700959.
    Abstract:
    A case of piercing of the tympanic membrane, resulting in unusual consequences, is described. This is the first reported case of the long process of a dislocated incus resulting in trauma to the horizontal portion of a dehiscent facial nerve. Simultaneous depression of the stapes footplate resulted in a perilymph leak, but with delayed presentation.
