Otosclerosis Flashcards
Otosclerosis is typically a congenitcal condition that causes osseous dyscrasia of the temporal bones, where new bone is formed, most commonly around footplate of stapes. Is this more common in males or females?
- females
- 2:1
Otosclerosis is typically a congenitcal condition that causes osseous dyscrasia of the temporal bones, where new bone is formed, most commonly around footplate of stapes. What age group are most affected by this?
1 - 1-5
2 - 10-20
3 - 20-40
4 - 40-60
3 - 20-40
Typically affects young adults
Otosclerosis is typically a congenitcal condition that causes osseous dyscrasia of the temporal bones, where new bone is formed, most commonly around footplate of stapes. Is this more likely to be congenital or acquired?
- congenital
Autosomal dominant
Is Otosclerosis more likely to cause conductive or sensorineural hearing loss?
- conductive
This becomes gradually worse over time as the bones grow
Typically affects the bones in the middle ear
Otosclerosis typically causes conductive hearing loss. Is this more likely to be unilateral or bilateral?
- bilateral
When performing otoscaopy which sign could we see in a patient with otosclerosis?
1 - bibinski sign
2 - kernig sign
3 - brudzinski sign
4 - schwartze’s sign
4 - schwartze’s sign
Pink blush though to be due to increased blood flow to new bone
What imaging is most commonly performed to help diagnose otosclerosis?
1 - head CT
2 - heat PET
3 - heal angiogram
4 - head MRI
1 - head CT
Which 2 of the following can be performed as a treatment for otosclerosis?
1 - wait and see approach with steroids
2 - tympanic membrane
3 - reconstruction of ossicular chain
4 - conductive hearing implants
5 - stapedotomy
4 - conductive hearing implants
- this is conservative management
5 - stapedotomy
- must be confirmed in an operation before procedure can be done
