Paget's disease of the bone is a chronic, progressive disease of unknown etiology characterized by abnormal bony resorption and deposition. It is a common skeletal disease in Europe and North America, while in Japan it is very rare. Paget's disease of the temporal bone has been reported to cause hearing loss frequently. We report a 50-year-old woman with Paget's disease who had progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and right vestibular dysfunction. CT and 3 Dimensional CT (3D-CT) images demonstrated resorption of the entire bony labyrinth and its surroundings on both sides and that the temporal bone elsewhere remained intact. Bone scans revealed disease symmetrically in the bilateral otic capsules. Previous studies indicated that the bone changes in Paget's disease in the petrous pyramid begin in areas best supplied with marrow tissue and that the otic capsule is relatively spared until advanced changes are present in the remainder of the petrous pyramid. But, this patient mainly had foci in the bilateral otic capsules and the pattern was similar to cochlear otosclerosis. 3D-CT was useful for differentiation of Paget's disease and cochlear otosclerosis. The pattern of the affected areas indicated that this is a very rare situation even in the reports of Europe and North America, where the disease is rather common.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007758 Ear, Inner The essential part of the hearing organ consists of two labyrinthine compartments: the bony labyrinthine and the membranous labyrinth. The bony labyrinth is a complex of three interconnecting cavities or spaces (COCHLEA; VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH; and SEMICIRCULAR CANALS) in the TEMPORAL BONE. Within the bony labyrinth lies the membranous labyrinth which is a complex of sacs and tubules (COCHLEAR DUCT; SACCULE AND UTRICLE; and SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS) forming a continuous space enclosed by EPITHELIUM and connective tissue. These spaces are filled with LABYRINTHINE FLUIDS of various compositions.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010001 Osteitis Deformans A disease marked by repeated episodes of increased bone resorption followed by excessive attempts at repair, resulting in weakened, deformed bones of increased mass. The resultant architecture of the bone assumes a mosaic pattern in which the fibers take on a haphazard pattern instead of the normal parallel symmetry.

D010040 Otosclerosis Formation of spongy bone in the labyrinth capsule which can progress toward the STAPES (stapedial fixation) or anteriorly toward the COCHLEA leading to conductive, sensorineural, or mixed HEARING LOSS. Several genes are associated with familial otosclerosis with varied clinical signs. Otospongiosis,Otoscleroses,Otospongioses
