Otosclerosis and cochlear otosclerosis: a post mortem study on temporal bones.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have chosen among many temporal bones of donors deceased individuals with concomitant otosclerosis, three particular cases, one with classic otosclerosis, another with cochlear otosclerosis with concomitant oval window ankylosis and another with cochlear otosclerosis without stapes fixation. The different histopathologic features are discussed and clinical and therapeutical guidelines are proposed.

متن کاملStapes Surgery Using Stapedotomy versus Partial Stapedectomy
Otosclerosis is defined as an overgrowth of the bone of the otic capsule just anterior to stapes footplate in between cochlea and vestibule. In such scenario, the stapes is unable to function normally as a piston and eventually becomes completely fixated, which results in a weaker conduction [1,2]. Clinical features are characterised by hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo, of combination of thes...
