We report two clinical and five histopathological examples of labyrinthitis ossificans and discuss the possible cause of this condition. Diagnosis can be established by polytomography. The advent of the cochlear implant makes ossification of the cochlea (labyrinthitis ossificans) of more than academic interest, since it requires alteration of the insertion of an electrode into the scala tympani and minimizes the chances of successful stimulation. Hearing losses due to meningitis, advanced cochlear otosclerosis, and trauma are likely to be due to cochlear ossification. Therefore, it is important to rule out this condition by means of polytomography in individuals being considered for cochlear implant surgery.
我们报告了两例临床病例和五例骨化性迷路炎的组织病理学病例，并讨论了这种病症的可能病因。通过断层摄影术可做出诊断。人工耳蜗的出现使耳蜗骨化（骨化性迷路炎）不仅仅具有学术意义，因为它需要改变电极插入鼓阶的方式，并且会降低成功刺激的几率。由脑膜炎、晚期耳蜗性耳硬化症和外伤导致的听力损失很可能是由于耳蜗骨化所致。因此，对于考虑进行人工耳蜗植入手术的个体，通过断层摄影术排除这种病症很重要。
