We describe temporal bone high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings in a case of bilateral mixed fenestral and retrofenestral otosclerosis with onset in the postpartum period. This condition should be considered in women complaining of postpartum hearing loss and temporal bone HRCT is a fundamental tool leading to the diagnosis.
