Abstract

The role of the “third”, “fibrous” component of the otosclerotic focus in penetrating and absorbing the cochlear endost is documented. An otosclerotic focus rich in fibrous-granulomatous component shows equal power as spongiotic or sclerotic components producing fragmentation resulting in rosary-formed absorption of the endost opening access to the soft-tissue containing regions of the cochlea.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

Die „dritte“, „fibrös-glomerulöse” Komponente des otosklerotischen Focus hat dieselbe Fähigkeit, das Endost zu durchbrechen wie die spongiöse oder skleröse Komponente, mit Eröffnung als Zugang zu dem inneren Raum der Schnecke.
