Role of HRCT Temporal Bone in Predicting Surgical Difficulties Encountered in Fenestral Otosclerosis Surgery.

To study spectrum of high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) imaging findings in otosclerosis, to predict approximate length of prosthesis required from pre-operative HRCT measurements and to correlate between oval window niche (OWN) height preoperatively and difficulty in introducing foot plate perforator during surgery. A cross sectional study was conducted on 23 patients with a clinical diagnosis of otosclerosis from September 2018 to July 2020. Sensitivity of HRCT in detecting otosclerosis, correlation between pre-operative incudo-stapedial length (ISL) and intra operative prosthesis length, and correlation between OWN height and difficulty in introducing perforator were sought.

Siblings with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts van der Knaap disease.

Cerebral leukoencephalopathy and megalencephaly with subcortical cysts (also known as van der Knaap disease) is an autosomal recessive condition. The disease was initially described in India and Netherlands independently and seems to have highest incidence in Indian Agrawal community and Turkish population. The objective of this study is to document the case of two siblings with this condition, from a non-Agrawal Indian community and briefly describe the imaging features of this condition.
