Abstract

Paget's disease, a chronic progressive bone disease of unknown origin, described as osteitis deformansby James Paget in 1877. This disease is comparatively prevalent in Europe and America, while it is rarely found in Japan. We report a case of Paget's disease with hyperostosis in the temporalbone and bilateral high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss detectable by pure-tone audiometry.
