Abstract: | A mixed bilateral hearing loss is described in a child with classical Larsen syndrome. The presence of a residual conductive loss after successful placement of ventilating tubes suggests that the conductive loss is due to an ossicular abnormality. In Larsen syndrome, characterized by multiple joint dislocations and bony malformations, the ossicular joints may also be affected. |
