Temporal Bone Case 3: A) Low power image through the cochlea, vestibule and oval window. No otosclerosis is seen. There is evidence of a stapedectomy with complete removal of the stapes footplate. B) High power image of the boxed area in A, which is the otic capsule at the anterior margin of the oval window. The “*” indicates an area with slightly more basophilic bone, but no otosclerotic foci are seen.
