227,228 Otosclerosis usually involves both ears; however, unilateral disease can occur in up to 15% of cases.229 Histologically, the initial alterations include resorption of bone around blood vessels. The cellular fibrovascular tissue replaces the resorbed bone, resulting in softening of the bone ...
Both ears are generally affected by the disease. Otosclerosis is a rapid occurrence of unexplained facial nerve palsy. With just an estimated prevalence of 15-30 per 100,000, it would be the most prevalent reason for lower motor neuron facial nerve paralysis. There are broadly two types of ...

As the age of patients increased there was a parallel increase of deafness and the latter was accompanied by a greater cochleo-vestibular involvement. Those ears with cochlear involvement showed a greater percentage of caloric abnormalities than the ears with a purely conductive deafness. Fifty-six ...
Fast forward to about three years ago, when I became pregnant with my third child. Immediately, Ilost all hearingin both ears. I was unable to hear anything even with the help of the strongest hearing aids. Steroid injections would not work this time. I was now suffering from rare severe...
Hearing results in a consecutive series of 407 patients with otosclerosis undergoing primary stapes surgery were analysed (437 operated ears). Partial stapedectomy was performed in 70 ears (16%), total stapedectomy in 205 ears (47%), in both groups using the House steel wire prosthesis on ...
RESULTS: The majority of oval window niches were normal in width in both ears. A niche narrowed to less than 0.8 mm in diameter was rare and tended to affect both ears (5.6% first ears and 5.95% second ears; chi2 = 134.6 on 4 df, p < .0001). The degree of footplate otosclerosis...
A 64-year-old Japanese male patient, status post-stapedectomy, presented with progressive, bilateral SNHL of 30 years' duration. CT showed extensive demineralization of the otic capsule, suggestive of otospongiotic change in both ears. There were no hyperostotic lesions found, which would have...
Presents a study which described the case of a patient who had undergone multiple stapes mobilization procedures in both ears as a treatment for otosclerosis. Clinical history of the patient; Preparation of temporal bone samples for histopathologic analysis; Discussion.Jaisinghani...
