Abstract
We report the case of a 34-year-old female with right-sided cholesteatoma and progressive left-sided conductive hearing loss. A cephalocele contacting the left incudomalleolar joint was suspected preoperatively and treated, but a facial nerve prolapse contacting the stapes was also discovered intraoperatively. This case emphasizes the importance of thorough and systematic evaluation to avoid satisfaction of search and anchoring bias, and illustrates the need for collaborative review of imaging findings among clinicians and radiologists to mitigate cognitive biases and improve diagnostic accuracy. Laryngoscope, 2025.
期刊介绍：
The Laryngoscope has been the leading source of information on advances in the diagnosis and treatment of head and neck disorders since 1890. The Laryngoscope is the first choice among otolaryngologists for publication of their important findings and techniques. Each monthly issue of The Laryngoscope features peer-reviewed medical, clinical, and research contributions in general otolaryngology, allergy/rhinology, otology/neurotology, laryngology/bronchoesophagology, head and neck surgery, sleep medicine, pediatric otolaryngology, facial plastics and reconstructive surgery, oncology, and communicative disorders. Contributions include papers and posters presented at the Annual and Section Meetings of the Triological Society, as well as independent papers, "How I Do It", "Triological Best Practice" articles, and contemporary reviews. Theses authored by the Triological Society’s new Fellows as well as papers presented at meetings of the American Laryngological Association are published in The Laryngoscope.
