Pak J Radiol Jan ;33(2):97-100.

Congenital inner ear abnormality is a common cause of sensory neural hearing loss. Michel anomaly is also known as inner ear aplasia and defined as congenital absence of inner ear. This congenital anomaly is secondary to failure of development of the otic placode during gestational period before 3rd week of pregnancy. We present the radiological imaging findings of Michel anomaly in a 04-year-old male patient who came in the ENT outdoor patient department with history of bilateral hearing loss.
