Zusammenfassung
In einer histochemischen und ultrastrukturellen Untersuchung werden die pathologischen Bindegewebsveränderungen bei der Otosklerose analysiert. Die Erkrankung führt zu einer komplexen Schädigung aller Bindegewebskomponenten. Es finden sich morphologische Anhalte für einen Enzymdefekt, der dem initialen pathologischen Reiz aufgelagert sein kann. Die beobachtete chondrozytäre Chondrolyse unterstreicht die Bedeutung der Knorpelreste in der otischen Kapsel als pathogenetischen Faktor der Otosklerose.
Summary
In a histochemical and electron microscopical study the pathogenesis of Otosclerosis was investigated. The morphological changes in the extra- and intracellular space indicated a complex metabolic disturbance of all tissue components. The observed chondrocytic chondrolysis stressed the role of the cartilage remnants in the otic capsule as an etiological factor. There was morphological evidence of a superimposed enzymatic defect.
