Otosclerosis involving oval window, obliterative - what does this mean
Otosclerosis involving oval window, obliterative is a condition in which the stapes bone in the middle ear becomes fixed and immobile due to the abnormal growth of new bone. this new bone growth causes the oval window, which is the opening between the middle ear and the inner ear, to become blocked, leading to hearing loss.
What happens during the disease - otosclerosis involving oval window, obliterative
Otosclerosis involving the oval window is a condition characterized by abnormal bone growth that obstructs the movement of the oval window. this abnormal growth can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, autoimmune responses, or infections. the abnormal bone growth causes the oval window to become obliterated, which prevents the transmission of sound waves and can lead to hearing loss. in some cases, the abnormal bone growth can also cause other symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. treatment options for otosclerosis involving the oval window include surgical and medical treatments, such as hearing aids, cochlear implants, and medications to reduce inflammation.
