J Bone Miner Res 22(1):163-70 (2007) PMID 17014382

A 52-year-old man presented with severe neck immobility and radiographic osteosclerosis. Elevated fluoride levels in serum, urine, and iliac crest bone revealed skeletal fluorosis. Nearly a decade of detailed follow-up documented considerable correction of the disorder after removal of the putative source of fluoride (toothpaste).

    Jae Hoon Sim, Alexander M Huber, and Christof Röösli

    Otol Neurotol (2013) PMID 23640088

    The presence of the triad of symptoms is a strong indicator for detecting patients with an incomplete ossicular discontinuity. High frequency conductive hearing loss was present in 93% (13/14 patients). Ten (71%) of the 14 patients presented with fluctuating hearing loss and improvement of hearing a...
