Isolated malleus fracture is a rare clinical entity, and usually the handle of the malleus is involved. We report a video, to our knowledge the first in the literature, of a diagnostic otoscopy of a malleus fracture showing the movement of a left fractured malleus handle during a Valsalva maneuver (see the video online at www.laryngoscope.com ).
