    Author: Tüz M, Doğru H, Yasan H, Döner F, Yariktaş M.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2006 Jul; 120(7):E22. PubMed ID: 16834796.
    Abstract:
    Chronic otitis media is often associated with ossicular defects, the most frequent being necrosis of the long process of incus. Except for infection and cholesteatoma; trauma and local pressure by chorda tympani are uncommon causes leading to incus erosion. In the literature, no case of incus necrosis has been reported associated with type II diabetes mellitus (DM). A patient is presented in this report with incus and stapes suprastructure necrosis and associated type II DM who was admitted to the out-patient clinic with complaints of conductive hearing loss.
