35 {Page 2} Dx: Fenestral otosclerosis

36 Fenestral Otosclerosis Most common form Conductive hearing loss Fixation of the foot plate of the stapes CT findings: lucent focus just anterior to oval window dense bone encroaches on oval window Surgical correction possible

37 History: Right sensorineural hearing loss & facial palsy Courtesy Mahmood Mafee,
