Otosclerosis Shankai Yin Prof Dept of Otolaryngology Affiliated Sixth Hospital Otolaryngology Institute Shanghai Jiao Tong university
History • 1704 Valsalva autopsy • 1894 Politzer “otosclerosis” • 1930s Lempert horizontal canal fenestration • 1953 Rosen stapes mobilization • 1955 Shea stapedectomy
Histopathology Increased osteoclastic activity results in perivascular bony resorption forming fibrotic spaces (lytic phase), osteoblasts within the fibrotic spaces producing immature bone (bone production phase), cycling of resorption and bone formation results in otosclerotic bone (remodeling phase)
Epidemiology • Hereditary in 70% of cases • Autosomal dominant • Incomplete penetrance • 7-10% Caucasian temporal bones • 1% Caucasians with symptoms • Other races lesser incidence
Symptoms • Slowly progressive hearing loss ipsilateral or bilateral • Tinnitus in 75% • Vestibular complaints 25%
Diagnosis • History • Physical examination • Audiogram • Imaging • Surgical exploration
Physical examination • Otomicroscopy • normal • Schwartze’s sign • Tuning forks
Differential diagnosis • Tympanosclerosis • MEE • incus/malleus fixation • ossicular discontinuity • congenital footplate fixation
Systemic diseases • Osteogenesis imperfecta • stapes fixation • blue sclera • fractures • Pagets disease • crowding in epitympanum • elevated alk phos • skeletal bone involvement
Imaging • Multidirectional tomography • CT • MRI
Audiology • Tympanometry • Acoustic Reflexes • Pure tone audiogram • Speech discrimination
Tympanogram • Normal type A • Shallow type As
Acoustic Reflexes • Very sensitive • “On-Off” phenomenon • precedes hearing loss
Management • Amplification • Medical therapy • Stapes surgery
Amplification • Refuse surgery • Poor surgical candidate • following improvement of CHL
Medical management • Sodium fluoride • Vitamin D • Calcium carbonate
Stapes surgery • Total Stapedectomy • Partial Stapedectomy • Anterior crurotomy • Stapedotomy
Goals • Open the oval window for sound transmission • reconstruct sound conducting mechanism • without complication
Variations • Procedure • Stapedotomy • drill • laser (CO2, KTP, argon) • Prosthesis • Oval window seal
