OBJECTIVE A persistent stapedial artery is a rare vascular malformation. This diagnosis is based on CT scan and intraoperative findings. METHODS The case of a 19-year-old woman with a persistent stapedial artery found during stapes surgery is reported. This vascular malformation was explored with a CT scan showing the bilaterality of this anatomical variation and signs of associated otosclerosis. RESULTS This malformation was successfully coagulated with laser allowing the stapedotomy to be completed. CONCLUSIONS A persistent stapedial artery is not a contraindication to stapedotomy because it can be safely coagulated during the same procedure.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010040 Otosclerosis Formation of spongy bone in the labyrinth capsule which can progress toward the STAPES (stapedial fixation) or anteriorly toward the COCHLEA leading to conductive, sensorineural, or mixed HEARING LOSS. Several genes are associated with familial otosclerosis with varied clinical signs. Otospongiosis,Otoscleroses,Otospongioses
