Abstract

Otosclerosis is a disease of unknown etiology, frequently causing hearing loss as a result of osteodystrophy of the labyrinthine capsule that generates hearing loss due to fixation of the stapes, or to formation of foci of bone sclerosis at the endocochlear level. Diagnosis is generally clinical; however high-resolution computed tomography of the temporal bone is the imaging method of choice. The technique used is cochlear densitometry, which consists of the quantitative measurement of tissue density of specific areas in the affected osseous structures of the inner ear, by placing regions of interest (ROI).
