Abstract
PURPOSE Radiographic review of pathologies that associate with third window syndrome. METHODS Case series and literature review. RESULTS Eight unique third window conditions are described and illustrated, including superior, lateral, and posterior semicircular canal dehiscence; carotid-cochlear, facial-cochlear, and internal auditory canal-cochlear dehiscence, labyrinthine erosion from endolymphatic sac tumor, and enlarged vestibular aqueduct. CONCLUSION The present study highlights the characteristic imaging features and symptoms to differentiate third window pathologies for expedient diagnosis and management planning.

Brazilian Society of Otology task force - Otosclerosis: evaluation and treatment. Braz J Otorhinolaryngol 2023; 89:101303. [PMID: 37647735 PMCID: PMC10474207 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjorl.2023.101303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review and provide evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of otosclerosis. METHODS Task force members were educated on knowledge synthesis methods, including electronic database search, review and selection of relevant citations, and critical appraisal of selected studies. Articles written in English or Portuguese on otosclerosis were eligible for inclusion. The American College of Physicians' guideline grading system and the American Thyroid Association's guideline criteria were used for critical appraisal of evidence and recommendations for therapeutic interventions. RESULTS The topics were divided into 2 parts: 1) Diagnosis - audiologic and radiologic; 2) Treatment - hearing AIDS, pharmacological therapy, stapes surgery, and implantable devices - bone-anchored devices, active middle ear implants, and Cochlear Implants (CI). CONCLUSIONS The pathophysiology of otosclerosis has not yet been fully elucidated, but environmental factors and unidentified genes are likely to play a significant role in it. Women with otosclerosis are not at increased risk of worsening clinical condition due to the use of contraceptives or during pregnancy. Drug treatment has shown little benefit. If the patient does not want to undergo stapedotomy, the use of hearing aids is well indicated. Implantable systems should be indicated only in rare cases, and the CI should be indicated in cases of profound deafness.
