| In Kojima's study, stapedial abnormality was seen more commonly than other ossicular dislocations. |
|
| The odontophore is an unpaired typically T-shaped ossicle between and dorsal to the distal side of each mouth-angle ossicular pair. |
|
| The ossicular chain magnifies the incoming sound waves which have now been converted into mechanical energy. |
|
| At moderate sound pressures, the vibrations are passed on to the stapes, and the whole ossicular chain moves as a single mass. |
|
| Their results show a major interest to use this technique in the anterior and inferior perforations, and whatever the ossicular chain status. |
|
| This technique must be reserved for dry, limited, nonmarginal perforations and without ossicular problem or connection with the handle of the malleus. |
|
| The VSB implant was implanted alone or in association with another middle ear surgical procedure, on the ossicular chain or on the round window membrane. |
|
| Objective: Report our experience with revision ossicular recontruction in ossiculoplasty with Kurz prosthesis. Identify causes of failure in ossiculoplasty using the titanium prosthesis. |
|
| Imitating the natural micro-movements of ossicular joints to compensate movements of the tympanic membrane has been a challenge since modern tympanoplasty prostheses were first introduced. |
|
| Middle ear pathologies were explored with the identical technique, and the status of the ossicular chain was assessed as well. |
|
| Our patient did not experience scutal or ossicular erosion suggestive of a cholesteatoma. |
|
| The magnitude of the impedance depends on the mass and stiffness of the membrane and the ossicular chain and on the frictional resistance they offer. |
|
| The ossicular chain of three tiny bones needed to carry sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the fluid that fills the inner ear may be disrupted by infection or by a jarring blow on the head. |
|
| The status of the first prosthesis and also the anatomical status of the middle ear and the remaining ossicular chain were described intra operatively. |
|
| Mastoidectomy with attico-antrotomy revealed chronic granulations with an osteitic process of mastoid and tympanic cavity with intact ossicular chain. |
|
| No cholesteatoma was found in the tympanic cavity and the ossicular chain was normal. This surgery implies the complete removal of cholesteatoma and its matrix. |
|
| Pars flaccida cholesteatomas are the most common and begin along the pars flaccida, grow into the epitympanum in Prussak's space, lateral to the ossicular chain. |
