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
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]
