Embryological development of middle ear ossicles is a complex process and congenital abnormalities and variations are very rare. Therefore, adding new knowledge to this conditions is highly important. This case report describes a rare case of variation consisting of bilateral pneumatization in the incus body in a patient with left-sided mixed-type hearing loss. These incus variations were detected incidentally during the examination performed for an otological problem. This paper discusses the possible embryological mechanism for the occurrence of this rare incus variation and its significance.
