title: [Radiological identification of the otic capsule in severe rickets].
abstract: We report the case of a patient with no otorhinolaryngologic symptoms who had an unusual radiological finding in the petrous bone secondary to congenital rickets. The impaired ossification of the rickets did not affect the compact bone of the otic capsule, making the bony labyrinth perfectly visible inside the temporal bone of osteoid substance.
