Surgical Treatment in a Case of Bilateral Juvenile Otosclerosis

Otosclerosis is a primitive osteodystrophy of the labyrinthine bone. It generally occurs in the third or fourth decade, but it is also encountered in children. Approximately, 15% of patients with otosclerosis experienced hearing loss before the age of 18. Stapes surgery is still a subject of debate in pediatric population although it has been performed for years with positive surgical outcomes. We report the case of a bilateral juvenile otosclerosis that has been successfully treated with stapes surgery.
