Morphological and morphometrical anatomy of the auditory ossicles in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus)
The study provides a series of distinctive morphological features of the auditory ossicles alongside comparative morphometric data, bringing facts in respect to morphology and some morpho-functional elements of the auditory ossicles in this little ...

Histological Changes of the Middle Ear Ossicles Harvested During Cholesteatoma Surgery
Background: In the cholesteatoma surgery ossicles can be replaced to reconstruct middle ear function. It is important that these ossicles are free of squamous epithelium, to prevent residual disease. This study focuses on the histological findings of the

3D Printing of Human Ossicle Models for the Biofabrication of Personalized Middle Ear Prostheses
The middle ear bones (‘ossicles’) may become severely damaged due to accidents or to diseases. In these situations, the most common current treatments include replacing them with cadaver-derived ossicles, using a metal (usually titanium) prosthesis, or ...

Region-specific endodermal signals direct neural crest cells to form the three middle ear ossicles
Defects in the middle ear ossicles – malleus, incus and stapes – can lead to conductive hearing loss. During development, neural crest cells (NCCs) migrate from the dorsal hindbrain to specific locations in pharyngeal arch (PA) 1 and 2, to form the ...

Fully automated preoperative segmentation of temporal bone structures from clinical CT scans
Middle- and inner-ear surgery is a vital treatment option in hearing loss, infections, and tumors of the lateral skull base. Segmentation of otologic structures from computed tomography (CT) has many potential applications for improving surgical planning

Mammalian middle ear mechanics: A review
The middle ear is part of the ear in all terrestrial vertebrates. It provides an interface between two media, air and fluid. How does it work? In mammals, the middle ear is traditionally described as increasing gain due to Helmholtz’s hydraulic analogy ...

Complications During Endoscopic Ear Surgery
Complications in endoscopic ear surgery and microscopic ear surgery can appear in both techniques. Whether complications occur more often in endoscopic ear surgery or microscopic ear surgery depends mostly on the skills and learning curve of the surgeon.

A new developmental mechanism for the separation of the mammalian middle ear ossicles from the jaw
Multiple mammalian lineages independently evolved a definitive mammalian middle ear (DMME) through breakdown of Meckel's cartilage (MC). However, the cellular and molecular drivers of this evolutionary transition remain unknown for most mammal groups ...

Middle ear osteoma causing Eustachian tube obstruction: A case report and literature review
Middle ear osteoma is an extremely rare benign tumor of the middle ear. Due to its very slow growth rate and benign nature, osteoma of the middle ear can be found incidentally without causing any symptoms.
