Labyrinthitis ossificans due to chronic otitis media.

F Suga, J R Lindsay

    The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology
    |January 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Histopathology revealed unilateral labyrinthitis ossificans in two patients with chronic suppurative otitis media. Ossification and hair cell degeneration were localized to the lower basal turn, impacting hearing.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Pathology
    • Auditory Science

    Background:

    • Chronic suppurative otitis media can lead to inner ear complications.
    • Labyrinthitis ossificans is a rare condition involving bone formation within the inner ear.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the histopathological findings of unilateral labyrinthitis ossificans in patients with bilateral chronic suppurative otitis media.
    • To investigate the pathway of inflammation and its effects on the inner ear structures.

    Main Methods:

    • Histopathological examination of temporal bone specimens from two patients.
    • Analysis of inflammation, ossification, and degeneration in the inner ear.

    Main Results:

    • Ossification and fibrosis were observed in the scala tympani of the lower basal turn.
    • Inflammation appeared to enter through the round window membrane, causing its occlusion.
    • Degeneration of hair cells in the organ of Corti was limited to the affected basal turn.
    • Combined conductive hearing loss from middle ear disease and inner ear pathology.

    Conclusions:

    • Unilateral labyrinthitis ossificans can occur secondary to chronic suppurative otitis media.
    • The round window membrane is a likely entry point for inflammation leading to ossification.
    • Inner ear ossification contributes to hearing loss in patients with chronic otitis media.
