INTRODUCTION Otosclerosis is a disease of bony labyrinth. Structural changes in the labyrinth often cause ossicular fixation, and thus conductive hearing loss. The purpose of this study was to evaluate middle ear exploration findings and frequency of ossicular and footplate area anomalies in patients with suspected otosclerosis referred to Amiralmomenin and Golsar Hospitals in Rasht, Iran. MA...

There is a thin bony pedicle joining the lenticular plate to the rest of the long process of the incus. We have previously presented a brief review of its anatomy; new histological observations in cat; and a simplified finite-element model of the long process, pedicle, lenticular plate, incudostapedial joint and stapes head in the cat. Low-frequency simulations suggested that there may be more ...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the condition of the ossicular chain in patients requiring surgery for cholesteatoma.  Materials and Methods: In a retrospective analysis, the destruction of the individual and combined bony structures of the ear was described in 166 patients with cholesteatoma who went through surgery in our Otology Center between 2003 and 2009.  Results:...

Összefoglaló. A Vibrant Soundbridge aktív középfül-implantátum vezetéses, sensorineuralis és kevert típusú halláscsökkenés esetén is megoldást jelenthet a beteg hallásrehabilitációja során. Sensorineuralis akkor indikálható, ha légvezetéses hallásküszöb nem haladja meg 80–85 dBHL-t 3–4 kHz frekvenciákon, illetve pedig akkor, csontvezetéses 45–65 0,5–4 közti frekvenciatartományban. Az implantátu...

Background: Since ancient times, chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) has been a significant contributor to middle ear illness. Antibiotics have extremely helpful, but is still frequent condition, and its consequences present challenge both otologists radiologists. Due the intricate anatomical nature of inner ear, radiological assessment temporal bone challenging.
 Aim Study: To compare...

The Vibrant Sound Bridge​ (VSB) implant system consists of a receiver/stimulator, gold wire cable and the Floating Mass Transducer​ (FMT) stimulator. FMT is attached by coupler to middle ear structures, including short incus process (SP). With this type attachment, often in contact bone skull base, potentially putting pressure on affecting its ability vibrate. aim study was clinical-experimenta...
