Osteogenesis imperfecta of the stapes: an histological study
The Journal of Otolaryngology
|February 1, 1976
Summary
Van der Hoeve's Syndrome cases show histological findings of osteogenesis imperfecta. This differentiates otosclerosis and suggests impedance studies for hearing loss in osteogenesis imperfecta patients.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Genetics
- Pathology
Background:
- Van der Hoeve's Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder.
- It is characterized by osteogenesis imperfecta, blue sclerae, and hearing loss.
- Distinguishing otosclerosis from osteogenesis imperfecta in hearing loss is crucial.
