An investigation of otosclerotic foci in stapes superstructure and evaluation of results using audiometric data
The stapes superstructure contained degenerative findings similar to osteoarthritis of long bones and histopathologic changes that might be considered significant in terms of otosclerosis. Nevertheless, these changes did not significantly affect pre-operative and post-operative pure tone audiometry data. This is the first study known to us that investigated the stapes superstructure from the otosclerosis perspective, and the cases were assessed in combination with audiometric data.
