Overview

Otosclerosis is a word derived from the Greek word "sklērós" meaning hardening and oto meaning ear. Otosclerosis is a disorder in which the footplate of the stapes is replaced by an abnormal bone, thereby affecting sound transmission to the inner ear at the level of the oval window.[1] osseous dyscrasia limited to the temporal bone that results in slow, progressive conductive hearing loss(emedicine) (CT) scanning of the temporal bone can often demonstrate foci of demineralization in the otic capsule in cases of cochlear otosclerosis

These changes can occur at many locations in the inner ear. The majority of cases consist of changes in the oval window, but they have also been described in the round window, cochlear apex, posterior to the oval window, posterior and anterior wall of the internal auditory canal (IAC), cochlear aqueduct, semicircular canals, and within the stapes footplate.


Historical perspective

  • 1704:Antonio Maria Valsalva identified fixation of stapes as a cause of hearing loss[2]
  • 1841:Toyn bee stated, "osseous ankylosis of the stapes to the fenestra ovalis as one of the causes of deafness".[3]
  • 1876:Johannes Kessel described stapes surgery as the treatment.[4]
  • 1930-1950: Used Julius Lempert’s single-stage fenestration of stapes as treatment.[5]
  • 1956:John Shea modernized stapedectomy.[6]

Differentiating otosclerosis from other diseases

Conditions mimicking Otosclerosis
  • Serous otitis media
  • Adhesive otitis media
  • Congenital stapes fixation
  • Meniere disease
  • Tympanosclerosis
  • Attic fixation of head of the malleus
  • Ossicular discontinuity

Epidemiology and demographics

  • Greater preponderance in women compared to men in a ratio of 2:1.[7]
  • Even though the disease begins in the second and third decade of life, it doesn't result in hearing loss until the fourth decade.[8]
  • Clinical prevalence of otosclerosis is found to be higher in Caucasians by 0.04%-1% while the histological incidence of otosclerosis increases to 10% in the same.[9].The incidence of histological otosclerosis is 1% and 5% in African and Asian population respectively.[10]
  • Autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with incomplete penetrance in certain cases.

Risk Factors

  • Genetic factor

Otosclerosis is an autosomal dominant disease with incomplete penetrance. When 60% of patients were found with family history, 40-50% of patients have it with variable patterns of inheritance.
