Cholesteatomas (central nervous system epidermoids) can be found intradurally or extradurally in the central nervous system. Extradural intraosseous lesions are most commonly found in the petrous bone. The authors describe a unique case of a clival cholesteatoma in a 64-year-old woman who presented
OBJECTIVE
To introduce our experience of resection of petrous apex cholesteatoma through endoscopic, transnasal, trans-sphenoidal approach in 3 cases, and present a surgical technique of intracystic resection of lesion which yielded a relatively stable long-term outcome.
METHODS
Resection of
Otitis media chronica cholesteatomatica with cerebral sigmoid sinus thrombosis is an important differential diagnosis in the evaluation of headache. We describe a 31-year-old Filipino man with chief complaints of headache, otalgia, vomiting, and vertigo, and no significant past medical history. Two
Introduction. Intracranial extension of cholesteatoma is rare. This may occur de novo or recur some time later either contiguous with or separate to the site of the original cholesteatoma. Presentation of Case. A 63-year-old female presented to a tertiary referral hospital with a fluctuating level
Background: Petrosal cholesteatoma is difficult to be diagnosed before operation. MRI-DWI can make the diagnosis more objective and accurate.Objective: Analysis of incidences and clinical characteristics of petrosal cholesteatoma, and the value of MRI-DWI in this disease.Materials
We experienced two cases of brain abscess secondary to middle ear cholesteatoma. One, a 61-year-old woman, presented with left otalgia, appetite loss and nausea. The computed tomography obtained on admission revealed a middle ear cholesteatoma. The magnetic resonance image showed the presence of a
We report a case of recurrent cerebellar abscess secondary to middle ear cholesteatoma. A 57-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of symptoms of headache and nausea in August, 1992. Brain CT scans revealed acute hydrocephalus complicated by a cerebellar abscess. The patient was
A 30-year-old Vietnamese patient is reported who was admitted with a resistant acute otitis externa, and who complained also of headache and fever. The symptoms were found to be caused by the intracranial complications (epidural abscess and bacterial meningitis) of an aural cholesteatoma. A
Thirty cases of congenital cholesteatomas of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) treated over a period of 20 years are reviewed with regard to their clinical features, the pathophysiology of their symptoms, and their management. The predominant symptoms were related to cranial nerves VII and VIII and
BACKGROUND
Cholesteatoma is a relatively common disease within the middle ear cavity, but rarely it manifests in the paranasal sinuses. There is, to the best of our knowledge, only one other published case of cholesteatoma inside the concha bullosa in the English language literature.
METHODS
An
Although much has been written about the central nervous system infectious complications of otitis media, little has been written about intracranial extension of cholesteatoma in chronic otitis media. The records of 13 patients from the House Ear Clinic with chronic otitis media and cholesteatoma
A cholesteatoma can be a complication of ear infection, eustachian tube dysfunction, prior ear surgery, or tympanic membrane perforation. It is typically associated with otorrhea and conductive hearing loss; sensorineural hearing loss, dysequilibrium, facial nerve paralysis, and altered mental
A 70-year-old woman visited our hospital because of a chronic headache four years ago. MRI demonstrated almost symmetrically thickened dura mater in the frontal and parietal regions. She was diagnosed with idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis and received corticosteroid therapy. Corticosteroid
OBJECTIVE
We report the case of a patient with extensive pneumocephalus extending into the lateral ventricles from a brain abscess arising from a cholesteatoma-induced defect in the skull base.
METHODS
A 70-year-old man with cholesteatoma presented with right-sided otalgia, otorrhoea and progressive
