Abstract
The main goal of this report is to review our current knowledge about the etiopathogenesis of otosclerotic bone remodeling disorder focusing on measles virus infection. Otosclerosis is a disease of pathologically increased bone turnover of the human otic capsule; however, the etiopathogenesis remained unclear. Persisting measles virus infection, genetic predisposition, disturbed bone metabolism, inflammatory processes, autoimmunity, and hormonal and environmental factors also may play contributing roles in the pathogenesis of otosclerosis. In the future, prospective studies based on comprehensive histopathologic, molecular biologic, and genetic analysis are necessary to get further information about the background of disease in order to clarify the role of measles in the etiopathogenesis and to find the most promising treatment option.
