Some studies have shown a positive effect of systemic corticosteroid on hearing results after stapedotomy, but its side effects can limit its routine administration....
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of local dexamethasone on the results of stapedotomy surgery....
Fifty two patients undergone stapedotomy surgery for otosclerosis involved. In the case group after stapedotomy we fulfilled the middle ear with dexamethasone and then the placement of the prosthesis ...
Gender, age, nausea, vomiting, postoperative vertigo and nystagmus did not significantly differ between the groups. A significant difference was observed in tinnitus rate between two groups. In the ca...
Since local dexamethasone had a positive effect on the results of stapedotomy surgery, it can be used instead of systemic corticosteroids to reduce the side effects and increasing surgery's success ra...
If local dexamethasone had a positive influence on the results of stapedotomy surgery, it can be used instead of systemic corticosteroids to reduce the side effects and increasing surgery's success ra...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reliability of temporal bone density measurements for diagnosing otosclerosis....
A retrospective case-control study is presented. Bone density was measured in Hounsfield units (HUs) by using high-resolution computed tomography in eight regions of interest (ROI) where otosclerotic ...
ROI densities were significantly lower in otosclerotic patients compared with nonotosclerotic controls. The area under the curve of the fissula ante fenestram (FAF) presented the highest diagnostic pe...
The high-resolution computed tomography density of the FAF is a reliable measurement for diagnosing otosclerosis. A value less than 1,871 HU exhibited the highest sensitivity and specificity in a Euro...
Several therapeutic options are usually discussed for otosclerosis management. Patients seek medical advice from an ENT specialist but are also increasingly using the internet for medical issues. This...
This is a cross-sectional study performed in a tertiary care centre. The results of the first two pages of a Google search with the keyword "otosclerosis" were reviewed by two independent investigator...
18 websites were included. Two websites (11.0%) were authored by academic institutions, 5/18 (28%) by government agencies, 6/18 (33%) by professional organisations and 5/18 (28%) were medical informat...
This study shows that internet information on otosclerosis has an overall low readability, while the quality is heterogeneous and varies from "poor" to "good". Efforts should be made to improve the re...
This article discusses a case of cochlear otosclerosis leading to secondary hydrops and near-complete hearing loss. Histopathological examination revealed advanced multifocal otosclerosis in both temp...
This study aimed to assess the readability indices of websites including educational materials on otosclerosis....
We performed a Google search on 19 April 2023 using the term "otosclerosis." The first 50 hits were collected and analyzed. The websites were categorized into two groups: websites for health professio...
A total of 33 websites were eligible and analyzed (20 health professional-oriented and 13 patient-oriented websites). When patient-oriented websites and health professional-oriented websites were indi...
Current patient educational material available online related to otosclerosis is written beyond the recommended sixth-grade reading level. The quality of good websites is worthless to the patients if ...
The gold standard for otosclerosis diagnosis, aside from surgery, is high-resolution temporal bone computed tomography (TBCT), but it can be compromised by the small size of the lesions. Many artifici...
The involvement of the inner ear in otosclerosis may lead to the development of cochlear otosclerosis. The aim of this study was to analyse changes in the chemical composition and microstructure of th...
This analysis included 31 patients with otosclerosis and 9 patients without otosclerosis. Microanalytical and diffraction techniques were used to assess the elemental distribution and orientation topo...
The concentration of Ca...
Bone remodelling is most significant at the closest location to typical otosclerotic lesions with hydroxyapatite porosity and scale-like bone formation according to scanning electron microscopy. There...
To investigate the role and distribution of various molecular markers using immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence to further elucidate and understand the pathogenesis of otosclerosis....
Archival celloidin formalin-fixed 20-micron thick histologic sections from 7 patients diagnosed with otosclerosis were studied and compared to controls. Sections in the mid-modiolar region were immuno...
Nidogen-1, BSP, and collagen-IX were expressed in the otospongiotic regions, and to lesser extent, in the otosclerotic regions, the latter previously believed to be inactive. β2-laminin and ubiquitin ...
Our results propose that the activity and function of TGF-1 may play a key role in the development and pathogenesis of otosclerosis. Further studies utilizing a higher number of temporal bone specimen...
Otosclerosis is a primary osteodystrophy of the otic capsule that causes stapedo-vestibular ankylosis. Its diagnosis is suspected on the basis of clinical and audiometric elements, basically in the pr...
We conducted a retrospective study at the ENT Department in association with the Medical Imaging Department of our hospital, over a period of 8 years, from January 2014 to December 2022 and involving ...
The average age of our patients was 40 years with extremes ranging from 22 to 61 years. We noted a sex ratio of 0.38. The preoperative CT-scan showed signs of otosclerosis in 87% of the cases and infr...
The CT-scan is an essential examination in the preoperative evaluation of otosclerosis. It allows a positive diagnosis to be made and evaluate the extension of otosclerosis. Moreover, thanks to the an...
Otosclerosis is a relatively uncommon condition that causes conductive hearing loss in children. The preferred treatment for adults is stapedotomy, while for individuals under 18 years old, there is a...
The study included 18 patients who underwent surgery between January 2013 and December 2023. The patients' ages ranged from 11 to 18 years, with an average age of 14.7. Out of the total 21 surgeries, ...
After a year, the air-bone gap was effectively reduced to 10 dB or less in 94% of the 21 cases, and to 20 dB or less in 98% of all cases....
Our results and research in the field have consistently shown that stapedotomy, when conducted by skilled otosurgeons, is a reliable and successful procedure for a considerable number of patients. The...
