Dynamic bone studies of the labyrinthine capsule in relation to otosclerosis.

Abstract excerpt

The pathological perilabyrinthine bone remodelling of otosclerosis is associated with a genetic predisposition and triggered by mechanisms so far unknown. A proposed viral aetiology of otosclerosis originates from a similar concept of Paget's disease.
