A case of giant cholesteatoma extending to the posterior fossa

Year 2003, Volume: 10 Issue: 6, 237 - 239, 24.12.2003

Abstract

We present a 43-year-old male patient who devel- oped a giant cholesteatoma with lateral sinüs obliteration and involvement of the posterior cranial fossa. The only complaints were left-sided aural discharges and total sensorineural hearing loss.Examination revealed a mass lesion consistent with cholesteatoma within the left middle ear. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed an extensive acquired cholesteatoma in the left middle ear, invading the posterior cranial fossa and leading to lateral sinüs obliteration. The patient underwent left radical mastoidectomy. He had an uneventful postoperative follow-up for 13 months.This case emphasizes the value of preoperative radiologic assessment of giant cholesteatomas that may present with relatively few or limited symptoms.

Posterior fossaya uzanan dev kolesteatom: Olgu sunumu

Abstract

Kolesteatomun ameliyat öncesi radyolojik değer- lendirilmesinin önemine dikkat çekmek için lateral sinüs obliterasyonu ve arka kafa çukuru tutulumu olan bir olgu sunuldu. Kırk üç yaflındaki erkek has- tanın uzun yıllardır var olan kulak akıntısı ve sol kulakta tam iflitme kaybı dıflında baflka flikayeti yoktu. Muayenede sol kulakta kolesteatom ile uyumlu kitle saptandı. Bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme incelemelerinde, sol kulakta lateral sinüs obliterasyonu ve posterior kranyal fossa tutulumuna yol açan dev bir koleste- atom gelifltiği belirlendi. Sol radikal mastoidektomi ile kolesteatom çıkarıldı. Kolesteatomun neden ol- duğu yaygın kafa içi patolojiye rağmen, ameliyatta ve ameliyat sonrasında 13 aylık izlem sırasında hastada herhangi bir komplikasyon ya da nüks ge- l i fl m e d i
