Аннотация
BACKGROUND: This case study aimed to report the rare computed tomography (CT) features of advanced pericochlear otosclerosis, with an emphasis on a proposed new nomenclature to describe the imaging findings.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 70-year-old woman with recurrent rhinosinusitis presented to our center for clinical management. The CT scan revealed the incidental rare findings of advanced retrofenestral otosclerosis in the form of extensive symmetrical pericochlear tubular lucencies in bilateral otic capsules. We coined the new term "C-hoop earring" sign for this CT appearance. She was asymptomatic and declined further audiological or imaging evaluation.
CONCLUSION: Herein, the CT features of advanced pericochlear otosclerosis are described and the imaging and clinical connotations of the presence of the Choop earring sign are reviewed. This new terminology provides a more intuitive description of the imaging findings in the temporal bones for clearer understanding and communication in clinical radiological practice and education.
