We report on a family with a not earlier described multiple congenital malformation. Several male family members suffer from laryngeal obstruction caused by bilateral vocal cord paralysis, outer and middle ear deformity with conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, facial dysmorphisms, and underdeveloped shoulder musculature. The affected female members only have middle ear deformity and hearing loss. The pedigree is suggestive of an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern. SNP-array revealed a deletion and duplication on Xq28 in the affected family members. A possible aetiology is a neurocristopathy with most symptoms expressed in structures derived from branchial arches.

In this report, we describe the first reported case of an oropharyngeal accessory tragus in a 20-year-old female presenting with moderate to severe left-sided conductive hearing loss. This case shares rare developmental anomalies to consider when diagnosing oropharyngeal masses that highlight the intricate embryological development of the head and neck region.

To explore the value of high resolution computed tomography（HRCT） combined with Magnetic Resonance Imaging（MRI） in the diagnosis of inner ear malformation. HRCT and MRI data of 82 patients with inner ear malformations were analyzed retrospectively. HRCT MPR and CPR reconstruction of the inner ear structure, facial nerve canal and oblique sagittal MRI reconstruction of the internal auditory canal were performed.

Cochlear nerve deficiency（CND） is a rare inner ear malformation characterized by a hypoplastic or absent cochlear nerve, resulting in variable hearing loss or total deafness, depending on the quantity of nerve fibers present. About 18% of congenital hearing loss are associated with CND. It is a disease of uncertain cause.

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM, arteriovenous dysplasia) is one of the variants of congenital vascular defects formed as a result of a defect in the development of the arterial and venous systems during ontogenesis with the formation of direct messages between vessels of different diameters. In this regard, high-speed shunting of blood from the arterial part of the vascular system to the venous through fistulas of various calibers occurs. This disease is characterized by a variety of clinical manifestations.

Unlabelled: The article is devoted to the problem of the rehabilitation stage of cochlear implantation in patients with inner ear abnormalities. It provides a detailed analysis of the audiological characteristics of such patients and draws conclusions about approaches to interpreting diagnostic data and speech processors fitting.
Material And Methods: The track records of 80 patients with abnormalities of the inner ear development were retrospectively studied, of which 10 had abnormal structure of the auditory nerve.
