ABSTRACT
@#A 29-year-old Filipina of Chinese descent presented with progressive bilateral conductive hearing loss of several years’ duration. While working overseas, she consulted with an otolaryngologist and underwent computerized tomographic (CT) imaging of the temporal bone as part of her evaluation. She was informed that no abnormalities were identified in the imaging exam, and she was offered exploratory middle ear surgery with possible stapes surgery. She then sought a second opinion, with the intention of obtaining a more definitive diagnosis prior to any invasive medical intervention. A review of the CT imaging study, with particular emphasis on looking for radiologic evidence of otosclerosis, revealed the presence of a focal region of bone demineralization in the region of the fissula ante fenestram. (Figure 1) This finding is consistent with a diagnosis of fenestral otosclerosis.
