An article by Setsuko Kawase et al Relationship between CT densitometry with a slice thickness of 0.5 mm and audiometry in otosclerosis in European Radiology June 2006 authors determined The appropriate cutoff Hounsfield unit (HU) value for the diagnosis of otosclerosis and investigated the correlation between the bone conduction threshold and the findings of computed tomography (CT) densitometry. Based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the cutoff HU value in area anterior to the oval window (A-OW) was determined to be 2,187.3 HU. A statistically significant correlation was found between the density of the area A-OW and the hearing level at 500 and 1,000 Hz, and between the density of the area around the cochlea and the hearing level at most frequencies. These results suggest the semi-automated diagnosis of otosclerosis may be possible ...

Objective: To demonstrate the need for computed tomography imaging of the temporal bone in patients clinically suspected of otosclerosis who present with atypical symptoms or audiological findings. Case reports: We present two patients with bilateral conductive hearing loss and suspected otosclerosis in whom third mobile window lesions were revealed. The first patient had bilateral large vestibular aqueducts and bilateral fenestral otosclerotic foci. Computed tomography imaging of the second case revealed bilateral superior semicircular canal dehiscence and bilateral cochlear clefts, mimicking an otosclerotic focus in the fissula ante fenestram. Conclusion: Differentiating third mobile window lesions from otosclerosis as the cause of a conductive hearing loss is essential before considering stapes surgery, as such treatment would be unnecessary and potentially harmful. ...

The term otosclerosis is derived from the Greek words for hard (scler-o) and ear (oto). It describes a condition of abnormal bone growth around the stapes bone, one of the tiny bones of the middle ear. This leads to a fixation of the stapes bone. The stapes bone must move freely for the ear to work properly and hear well.. Hearing is a complex process. In a normal ear, sound vibrations are funneled by the outer ear into the ear canal where they hit the tympanic membrane (ear drum). These vibrations cause movement of the ear drum, which transfers the vibrations to the three small bones of the middle ear, the malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes (stirrup). When the stapes bone moves, it sets the inner ear fluids in motion, which, in turn, start the process to stimulate the tiny sensory hair cells in the inner ear, which connect with the auditory (hearing) nerve. The hearing nerve then carries sound information to the brain, resulting in hearing of sound. When any part of this process is ...

Otosclerosis is a bone dystrophy localized to middle and inner ears with unknown etiology. It principally concerns adult patients between 30 and 50 years of age. Women present with this disease 2 times more frequently than men. Family cases are observed in 50% with a dominant autosomal transmission and low penetrance (40%). In its early stages, the disease is mainly located at the stapediovestibular joint leading to its ankylosis and a conductive hearing loss. In its advanced stages, the lesions extend around the cochlea and vestibule, induce a sensorineural hearing loss which can progress to severe and profound deafness, and prolonged balance disorders. On CT-scan, disease foci show a demineralization. Their density is inversely correlated to the hearing loss. In early stage, hearing function is currently rehabilitated by conventional hearing aids or surgery. In advanced forms, cochlear involvement is not accessible to surgery, and rehabilitation is insured by he hearing aids or cochlear ...

Fenestral otosclerosis is the most common cause of conductive hearing loss in adults and is bilateral in 80% of cases. Early CT changes may subtle as seen in this example on the left side.

Otosclerosis is a hearing condition in which the stapes in the ear becomes attached to the surrounding bone by an abnormal bone growth. Sound transmission is progressively impaired so that hearing in the affected ear deteriorates.

Bone remodeling within the otic capsule has been reported to be inhibited especially at or near the cochlea, except under some pathological conditions such as otosclerosis, Pagets disease, or mastoiditis, when bone remodeling can occur. Microcavitations found in periosteal and endosteal layers of human temporal bone specimens without otosclerosis, Pagets disease, or inflammation as reported in the current study are consistent with osteoclastic bone resorption. Thirty-three temporal bones from 33 patients were prepared for light microscopy and classified into 4 groups: histologically proven dehiscence of the superior semicircular canal (SSCD) (n = 3, group 1), age 20 years or younger (n = 10, group 2), age 90 years or older and with otosclerosis (n = 10, group 3), and age 90 years or older without otosclerosis (n = 10, group 4 ...

Objectives: To compare the audiological outcomes of two different approaches of stapes surgery, stapedotomy versus partial stapedectomy. Specifically, our experience in t..

Typically, otosclerosis progresses to the stapes, the ultimate transducer of the middle ear chain. The stapes are held in place by a small groove known as the oval window, directly touching the inner ear fluids. Conductive hearing loss happens when an object impairs the movement of the ear. The medical word for this condition, which is typically treatable surgically, is stapedius otosclerosis.. This study aimed to ascertain the chorda tympani nerves function before and following various forms of middle ear surgery. The hypothesis was that iatrogenic nerve injury would result in a milder postoperative taste disturbance than myringoplasty or stapedectomy in cholesteatoma patients. This study employed a prospective questionnaire method. The setting is set in the emergency room of a district general hospital in the United Kingdom. Patients aged 18 years and older receiving surgery to raise the middle ears annulus.. Often, the procedure is performed as an outpatient. Certain patients may require a ...

Background Otosclerosis is a disorder that impairs middle ear function, leading to conductive hearing loss. Surgical treatment results in large improvement of hearing at low sound frequencies, but high-frequency hearing often suffers. A likely reason for this is that inner ear sensory cells are damaged by surgical trauma and loud sounds generated during the operation. Animal studies have shown that antioxidants such as N-Acetylcysteine can protect the inner ear from noise, surgical trauma, and some ototoxic substances, but it is not known if this works in humans. This trial was performed to determine whether antioxidants improve surgical results at high frequencies. Methods We performed a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled parallel group clinical trial at three Swedish university clinics. Using block-stratified randomization, 156 adult patients undergoing stapedotomy were assigned to intravenous N-Acetylcysteine (150 mg/kg body weight) or matching placebo (1:1 ratio), starting one ...

The human ear is divided into the external (outer), middle and inner ear. Sound waves enter the external ear through the ear canal, causing the eardrum to vibrate. In turn, vibration of the eardrum causes the three small bones in the middle ear to vibrate. These bones are the hammer (or malleus), the anvil (or incus), and the stirrup (or stapes). The footplate of the stapes is the essential bridge between the middle and inner ear. Vibrations of the stapes (stirrup) footplate cause movement of fluid in the inner ear. Tiny hair cells attached to nerve endings in the cochlea pick up the impulses and send them to the brain, where they are interpreted as understandable sounds. The disease called Otosclerosis occurs when new bone grows over the footplate of the stapes bone. This interferes with the passage of sound to the inner ear and causes a conductive hearing loss, meaning that sound is not conducted from the exterior to the inner ear. This is known as stapedial otosclerosis and can be corrected ...

Bast TH. Osteogenesis of the human periotic capsule. (1929) Arch Otolaryngol. 10(5): 459-471 Draft only The petrous portion of the temporal bone and in particular the otic capsule, which stands alone in the category of bones, is of interest from a purely embryologic and anatomic standpoint because of its unique structure, both gross and histologic; but a thorough knowledge of the development and structure of this bone may prove of importance in throwing light on the mystery surrounding otosclerosis and its supposed relation to the dreaded disease, progressive deafness. The bony otic capsule which houses the sense organs of hearing and equilibrium differs from other bones as to form, structure and function. Bones are conventionally classified as long or cartilage bones and flat or membrane bones. While the otic capsule is classified with cartilage bones, it is neither a long bone nor a flat bone. It is a capsular bone. The cranium is also a bony box, but it is made up of a number ...

I was born on 7 September 1917 at Sydney in Australia. My father was English-born and a graduate of Oxford; my mother, born Hilda Eipper, was descended from a German minister of religion who settled in New South Wales in 1832. I was the second of four children.. Part of my childhood was spent in Sydney and part in rural New South Wales, at Armidale. When I was about ten years old the first signs of deafness (from otosclerosis) became noticeable. The total loss of hearing was a process that lasted more than a decade, but it was sufficiently gradual for me to attend Sydney Boys High School and to profit from the teaching there. In particular a good young teacher, Leonard Basser, influenced me in the direction of chemistry; and this seemed to offer a career where deafness might not be an insuperable handicap.. I entered Sydney University at the age of 16, and though by that time unable to hear any lecture I was attracted by laboratory work in organic chemistry (which I had done in an improvised ...

A stapedectomy is a microsurgery in the middle ear. The operation is performed with the aim of restoring the physiological mechanism of sound transmission by completely or partially removing the stapes.

Surgery is an option if youd prefer not to wear a hearing aid. The main operation used is called a stapedotomy or stapedectomy.. The operation can be done under either general anaesthetic, where youre asleep, or local anaesthetic, where youre awake but your ear is numbed. A cut is made inside your ear canal, or occasionally above or in front of your ear, to access the bones inside your ear.. Part of the stapes bone is removed and a plastic or metal implant is put into the ear to transmit sound from the remaining bones into the inner ear. Youll be able to go home the same day or the day after.. This is a delicate operation thats usually very successful. But as with all operations, it carries a small risk of complications.. These include:. ...
