Serial sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin were examined by light microscopy and the morphology of the stapes was compared to age-matched controls. Each case of stapes malformation could be classified into one of four malformation types based on our current understanding of the embryologic origin of the subunits of the stapes and timing of development. Twenty-seven percent of stapes malformations had a Type I morphology characterized by a hypoplastic or absent inner footplate and hypoplastic to absent mesoderm footplate or oval window. The crura and capitulum may be absent, monopodal or dysmorphic. Eleven percent expressed a Type II malformation with dysmorphic or monopodal capitulum and crura and a fixed footplate. Twenty-seven percent were of Type III with a dysmorphic or monopodal capitulum and or crura. The footplate, and thereby oval window is present and without fixation. The most common malformation, Type IV, was isolated footplate fixation observed in 33% of cases."</ins></div></td></tr>
