Fenestral and Cochlear Otosclerosis: Computed Tomographic Evaluation (original) (raw)

Ontology & Neurotology

Abstract

Computed tomography has replaced conventional multidirectional tomography in the imaging of patients with the presumed diagnosis of otosclerosis. In addition to obliterative disease, which was easily diagnosed with multidirectional tomography, anterior and posterior foci of varying sizes can now also be visualized preoperatively. Active cochlear otosclerosis (otospongiosis) is diagnosed in the presence of foci of demineralization in the otic capsule. Diagnosis of these entities has been of great interest to our referring otologic surgeons.
