Bone remodeling within the otic capsule has been reported to be inhibited especially at or near the cochlea, except under some pathological conditions such as otosclerosis, Paget's disease, or mastoiditis, when bone remodeling can occur. Microcavitations found in periosteal and endosteal layers of human temporal bone specimens without otosclerosis, Paget's disease, or inflammation as reported in the current study are consistent with osteoclastic bone resorption. Thirty-three temporal bones from 33 patients were prepared for light microscopy and classified into 4 groups: histologically proven dehiscence of the superior semicircular canal (SSCD) (n = 3, group 1), age 20 years or younger (n = 10, group 2), age 90 years or older and with otosclerosis (n = 10, group 3), and age 90 years or older without otosclerosis (n = 10, group 4). Microcavitation was seen at 7 anatomic locations in the temporal bone in all 4 groups, but not in the cochlea or vestibule. Microcavitation within the temporal bone is likely due to osteoclastic activity, and it is seen in both young and old patients, patients with and without otosclerosis, and in cases with SSCD.

Osteitis deformans Paget is a fairly common, heritable, sometimes progressive disease of bone which affects primarily the axial skeleton and may lead to deformity and weakness. It affects 3% of the population over forty years of age and males more frequently than females. The skull and temporal bones become involved in about two-thirds of the patients. Progressive involvement of the temporal bones may lead to alteration of position, increase in size and change of architecture of the petrous pyramid, external canal, middle ear and inner ear capsule. These changes in turn may produce impairment of hearing (about 30–50% of cases) and vestibular function (20–25%). The clinical, radiological, and pathological manifestations of Paget's disease of the temporal bone are discussed in detail and explained with photomicrographs. Examples of tumor formations and vascular changes are presented.
