The cog was present in eight (20%) of 40 mastoidectomies. Körner’s septum was present in nine (22.5%) patients. The graft take rate was 95.2%. [doi.org]

• Inflammation

  The pathogenesis of tympanosclerosis is not clear, although the inflammation known to exist in secretory otitis media probably plays an important part. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Timpanosclerosis Timpanosclerosis is a consequence of catarrhal inflammation of the serous type of the mucous membrane of the tympanic membrane. [treat-simply.com]

  Recurrent inflammation from chronic OM can also lead to tympanosclerosis. Other associated fibrotic conditions include contracture of the plantar fascia (Ledderhose disease) and tympanosclerosis (Jordan & McCammon, 2012). [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

• Weakness

  Occasionally, symptoms of more advanced chronic ear disease are present such as pain, dizziness, or facial weakness. Based on your symptoms and findings, your ear doctor may ask that tests be performed. [houseclinic.com]

• Aspiration

  Results showed no significant difference in extrusion time between aspirated and non-aspirated ears. Aspiration was found to be a factor in the development of tympanosclerosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  If aspiration is performed as part of the insertion, the risk of tympanosclerosis occurring increases. Risk also increases if a larger tube is used, or if the procedure is repeated. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Hearing Impairment

  Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the degree of hearing impairment caused by tympanosclerosis of the eardrum as a result of grommet insertion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Infections of the middle ear can cause hearing impairment and discharge from the ear. Occasionally, symptoms of more advanced chronic ear disease are present such as pain, dizziness, or facial weakness. [houseclinic.com]

  The commonest presentation of tympanosclerosis in our study was in the form of hearing impairment with 67.1% cases ( Figure 1 ). [omicsonline.org]

  Revision surgery is done for many reasons apart from persistence of a hearing impairment. Good quality data on the proportion of children that are eligible because of persistence of a hearing impairment are not available. [doi.org]

• Hearing Problem

  This can cause temporary hearing loss. It usually clears up within 3 months, but see a GP about any hearing problems. Check if it's glue ear The most common symptom of glue ear is temporary hearing loss. It can affect both ears at the same time. [nhs.uk]

  […] no other serious medical problems or disabilities. [doi.org]

• Suggestibility

  We propose that the mass of a grommet appears to play less of a role than has previously been suggested in the pathogenesis of tympanosclerosis following grommet insertion and that duration of intubation may be the most significant factor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Confusion

  (Please see photo) Tympanosclerosis and congenital cholesteatoma (Chapter 7) can sometimes be confused because they are both white lesions seen on or under the ear drum. Twenty year old who had tubes in his ears as a child. He had no ear complaints. [med.uth.edu]

  It can be confused with a fracture line. On the left a 40-year old female with a sclerotic mastoid. The petromastoid canal is easily seen. (arrow) Petromastoid canal On the left a well-pneumatized mastoid. [radiologyassistant.nl]

The most common treatment method of tympanosclerosis is surgery. Stapedectomy is recommended in surgery instead of mobilization techniques. However, there is often recurrence and there is no curative treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prognosis is that after 10 years most cases are not suffering any noticeable deafness. The degree of sclerosis often stabilises after 3 years. The majority of research has not been carried out on the general population. [zenplugs.com]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

More studies are needed to understand etiological mechanisms and association between them. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

From the vast array of definitions, ETIOLOGY - One of the important etiological factors is heredity. Burdened heredity in bronchial asthma is found in 50-80% of patients. [en.medicine-guidebook.com]

Etiology The etiology of otosclerosis is still unknown. Otosclerosis appears to be a multifactorial disease. Autosomal dominant and a low penetrance (40%) transmission is observed in familial cases. [orpha.net]

Pathophysiology: It has been postulated that after an episode of otitis media with effusion / or acute otitis media the collagen undergoes degeneration and subsequent dystrophic calcification and formation of tympanosclerosis. [drtbalu.com]
