  • Title: Fenestration surgery for otosclerosis: CT findings of an old surgical procedure.
    Author: Niyazov D, Borges A, Ishiyama A, Zaragoza E, Lufkin R.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 2000 Oct; 21(9):1670-2. PubMed ID: 11039348.
    Abstract:
    Numerous attempts to deal surgically with otosclerosis were made before the current method of stapedectomy with stapes prosthesis was established. We report a case with unique CT findings of a patient who underwent fenestration surgery for otosclerosis in the early 1940s. Recognition of this old surgical procedure on the imaging scans may avoid misdiagnosis of labyrinthine fistulae or middle and inner ear malformations.
