BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endochondral ossification of the otic capsule is a process
that continues postnatally; hence, incomplete endochondral ossification is seen as …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the prevalence of localized hypoattenuating areas in the cochlear
otic capsule at temporal-bone thin-section computed tomography (CT) in pediatric patients …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Otosclerosis is commonly identified on CT as a focus of
hypodensity in the otic capsule anterior to the oval window. However, otosclerosis can have …

The aim of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between bone level thresholds
and the extension of otosclerotic foci within the otic capsule. The study consisted of a …

Purpose Evaluation of the prevalence of a pericochlear hypodensity on CT in children.
Materials and methods. This study correlates the findings on temporal bone CT to the …

Otosclerosis is the most common primary osseous lesion of the temporal bone. Diagnosis is
based on clinical findings, audiometric testing, and family history, but there is an increasing …

Objective We aimed to elucidate the ossification process of the otic capsule in postnatal
C57BL/6 mice and depict the three‐dimensional (3D) process of otoconial mineralization in …

Otosclerotic cochlear involvement is a rather frequent disease that has not been clearly
understood in terms of diagnosis and management. Objective evaluation methods are …

Besides the use of conventional techniques such as light and polarization microscopy, the
present paper proposes the combined use of transmission electron microscopy, secondary …

To investigate whether otosclerotic foci in the bony capsule of the cochlea and labyrinth can
be demonstrated by high-resolution computed tomography, CT images from 31 patients …
