a From the Departments of Radiological Sciences (D.N., E.Z., R.L.) and Head and Neck Surgery (A.I.), University of California Los Angeles School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, and the Department of Radiology (A.B.), Portuguese Institute of Oncology, Porto, Portugal.

Summary: Numerous attempts to deal surgically with otosclerosis were made before the current method of stapedectomy with stapes prosthesis was established. We report a case with unique CT findings of a patient who underwent fenestration surgery for otosclerosis in the early 1940s. Recognition of this old surgical procedure on the imaging scans may avoid misdiagnosis of labyrinthine fistulae or middle and inner ear malformations.
