“…1 The controversy is whether or not removal of sclerotic plaques would improve hearing. 2 Intratympanic focal tympanosclerosis should be differentiated from intratympanic membrane cholesteatoma. While calcified plaques in the lamina propria present as thin plates, cholesteatoma shows a spherical shape.…”

“… 1 , 2 Myringosclerosis, one type of tympanosclerosis, is characterized by calcification and hyalinization of the connective tissue layer of the tympanic membrane. 2 Calcification around the tympanic membrane and ossicles restricts their mobilization, causing conductive or mixed hearing loss. 1 Tympanosclerosis or myringosclerosis usually appears as a white, plaque-like lesion in the tympanic membrane.…”

Purpose Otoendoscopy represents the initial non-invasive diagnostic cornerstone for external and middle ear disorders. Recently, new techniques of enhanced imaging such as narrow-band imaging (NBI) have been introduced but their role as a potential aid in otological practice remains unproven. In this pictorial review, we want to present the potential application of this endoscopic method, highlight its limitations, and give some hints regarding its future implementation. Methods Representative cases of external and/or middle ear pathologies were selected to illustrate the role of NBI in this regard. Results NBI may represent a useful aid in the otological work-up, in the differential diagnosis of ear tumor-like masses, and, possibly, in the prognosis of tympanic perforations. For other ear disorders, instead, this technique does not seem to add anything to the standard clinical practice. Conclusions NBI might prove useful in the assessment of selected external and middle ear disorders but its role must be prospectively validated.
