SURGERY FOR JUVENILE OTOSCLEROSIS: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Journal Title: Journal of Hearing Science - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Otosclerosis is a disease characterized by an abnormal bony growth and remodeling around the otic capsule Although adults constitute the majority of patients, otosclerosis is encountered also in children. However, the literature concerning juvenile otosclerosis is still meaningly limited The main therapeutic options for children with otosclerosis are hearing aids or stapes surgery. Despite many years of treating pediatric patients with stapes surgery, the issue whether to perform the operation still remains a subject of the debate. To identify suitable literature on juvenile otosclerosis, a search was performed using the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science and Medline and based on the eligibility criteria 19 articles were found suitable for the review. The current evidence indicates that the stapes surgery for juvenile otoslecrosis is a safe and effective procedure enabling the air-bone gap closure in both short- and long-term observation period. Complications of stapes surgery are extremely rare and in majority of cases comprise of transient vertigo. Age itself should not be a contraindication to stapes surgery for juvenile otosclerosis.
