Ahmad Alroqi, Mohammad AlshahraniIndian Journal of Otology 2019 25(3):114-116 Background and Objectives: Stapedectomy and stapedotomy are the standard techniques for surgical treatment of stapes fixation. Both techniques differ in the size of the created opening in the stapes footplate and the type of prosthesis used. The aim of the study is to evaluate the outcomes of hearing following the two surgical techniques. Methods: One hundred and forty-nine medical records of patients who underwent...
Rachit Sood, Amit Kumar, Amit Kumar Tyagi, Saurabh Varshney, Manu Malhotra, Madhu PriyaIndian Journal of Otology 2019 25(3):151-154 Context: At present, various questionnaires are being used to assess the effect of hearing loss on quality of life. Majority of questionnaires assessing hearing handicap in adults are in English language, whereas Indian population is predominantly Hindi speaking. Hence, the study is aimed at developing a questionnaire in Hindi language, assessing the impact of unilateral...
Vikas Mysore Dwarakanath, Tejaswini Shambhu, Vinutha Jyothi JayannaIndian Journal of Otology 2019 25(3):117-120 Background: Allergic rhinitis is an allergic inflammation of nasal airways. It occurs when allergen, such as pollen, dust, or animal dander is inhaled by an individual with a sensitized immune system. Researchers have found that AR causes conductive hearing loss in adults. Although symptoms related to the inner ear structures were not studied till Singh et al., (2011) who reported a...
Muath Alsabih, Khalid Alosaimi, Roa Halawani, Farid AlzhraniIndian Journal of Otology 2019 25(3):169-172 We report a detailed retrospective chart review of a case of a child with bilateral enlarged cystic-like internal auditory canals (IACs) displaying profound sensory neural hearing loss. He was subsequently treated with cochlear implantation (CI) in one ear, thereby causing his hearing to improve. As far as we are aware, this is the first such case in the world that has been reported of a patient...
Satinder Pal Singh, Ravinder Singh Nagi, Jagdeepak SinghIndian Journal of Otology 2019 25(3):121-126 Aim: To study the effect of site and size of tympanic membrane perforation on graft uptake rates and hearing improvement in Type I tympanoplasty using sliced conchal cartilage reinforced with temporalis muscle fascia and temporalis muscle fascia alone. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of forty patients presenting with dry central perforation with intact and mobile ossicular...

Aims: This article reports results of homozygosity mapping and SLC26A4 variant analysis in Iran. Settings and Design: A case series study was performed on forty GJB2-negative Iranian deaf families....
Chandrashekhar Chalwade, Amit R Peswani, Dhirendra Patil, Amresh BaliarsingIndian Journal of Otology 2019 25(3):127-134 Background: Ear burns abscesses managed by incision and drainage and daily packing cause significant pain. The management of ear burns abscess involves avoiding pressure on the ear and ensuring collapse of the dead space. To achieve this and a pain-free recovery, we used a technique – suction-assisted device (SAD). Methods: SAD technique was used in patients with an undamaged...

Bikash Lal Shrestha, Ashish Dhakal, K C Abha Kiran, Krishna Sundar Shrestha, Aakash PradhanIndian Journal of Otology 2019 25(3):135-140 Background: The endoscope has diagnostic and therapeutic role in different otological surgeries. It has excellent view of images where there are difficult nooks and corners. The use of sandwich cartilage perichondrium in the repair of tympanic membrane peroration has its own benefit in graft uptake and hearing results whether long term or short term. The main...
Mehdi Nikkhah, Maryam Ghasemi, Rostam Poormoosa, Somayeh Sheidaei, Mozhdeh AkbariIndian Journal of Otology 2019 25(3):166-168 Osteosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm and the most common primary tumor of the bone. Craniofacial bones involvement is relatively rare, but if it occurs, most bone affected is the mandible and the maxillae. Osteosarcomas of extragnathic craniofacial bones are rare lesions, constituting fewer than 2% of all osteosarcomas. We report a rare case of de novo osteogenic sarcoma...
