BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cavitary plaques have been reported as a manifestation
of otospongiosis. They have been related to third window manifestations, complications …

Objectives To evaluate the applicability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a method
for monitoring the activity of otospongiotic lesions before and after clinical treatment. Study …

A high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) study on 55 patients with surgically
confirmed clinical otosclerosis confirms the existence of cochlear otospongiosis among the …

Several theories have been advanced to explain the sensorineural hearing loss that occurs
in patients with otospongiosis: toxic substances produced by the otospongiotic focus; …

OBJECTIVE: To describe different sequences on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in
otosclerosis with peri-cochlear involvement. METHOD: MRI T1 and T2 sequences with T1 …

First, the authors discuss the most valuable way to correlate specific morphological changes
encountered in cochlear otospongiosis with sensorineural hearing loss. They think that …

Objective and importance: Cochlear implantation can be performed successfully in patients
with otospongiosis of the temporal bone with the potential for excellent audiological …

Background: Despite the high prevalence of otosclerosis and its having long been a subject
of scrutiny, cavitary changes in otosclerosis are rare and not well known. Here, we describe …

Otosclerosis very often leads to severe hearing loss in a chronic progressive manner. In the
first phase of the disease, otospongiosis causes an inflammatory osteolytic process in the …

Purpose The association of internal auditory canal (IAC) fundal diverticula with
otospongiosis (OS) and their clinical significance remain unclear. We explored whether …
