Tensor Tympani and Stapedial Tendon Reconstruction for Postoperative Hyperacusis after Tendon Lysis for Middle Ear Myoclonus.
Otology & Neurotology 2024 March 27
OBJECTIVE: To present a method for repair of the stapedial and tensor tympani tendons in a patient with hyperacusis after a tendon lysis procedure.
PATIENTS: A 71-year-old professional musician who presented to clinic with debilitating hyperacusis following a tensor tympani and stapedial tendon lysis procedure to treat middle ear myoclonus.
INTERVENTIONS: A novel procedure for reapproximation of the tensor tympani and stapedial tendons into their native insertion points using periosteal grafts and nitinol wire.
MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: Stapedial reflex measurements, uncomfortable loudness level, and subjective patient experience.
RESULTS: Postoperatively, the patient had objective improvement in hyperacusis with return of acoustic reflexes in the affected ear and durable improvements in their frequency-specific uncomfortable loudness levels.
CONCLUSIONS: This case describes the debilitating complication of hyperacusis following tendon lysis and highlights the importance of maximizing behavioral and medical measures prior to undergoing surgical intervention for middle ear myoclonus.
