AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of primary otoscleroma.Method:We present a case report and a review of the world literature concerning otoscleroma.Results:An adult woman presented with chronic suppurative otitis media with tubotympanic disease and conductive hearing loss. On mastoid exploration, dark granulations were seen, which were identified as otoscleroma on histopathological examination. The patient responded well to streptomycin.Conclusion:To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of primary otoscleroma in the world literature. This case indicates that Frisch's bacillus can also spread to the middle ear.

AbstractIsolated congenital anomalies of the ossicles are rare. The majority of cases of congenital conductive hearing loss secondary to middle-ear anomalies have other associated defects, such as atresia, microtia and craniofacial deformities.We present a rare case of isolated congenital stapes suprastructure fixation, where a monocrural stapes with a mobile footplate was attached to the promontory by bony synostosis. There was no stapedius muscle nor pyramidal process. The incus and malleus were of normal configuration. Mobilization of the stapes from the promontory resulted in improvement in hearing. We believe this is the first reported case of such an abnormality. A review of the world literature of isolated stapes suprastructure ankylosis and the classifications of minor congenital anomalies are discussed.

Introduction. Despite modern radiological workup, surgeons can still be surprised by intraoperative findings or by the pathologist’s report.Materials & Methods. We describe the case of a 52-year-old male who was referred to our clinic with a single sided conductive hearing loss. He ultimately underwent middle ear exploration and excision of a middle ear tumour followed by second look and ossiculoplasty a year later.Results. Though preoperative CT and MRI scanning were suggestive of a congenital cholesteatoma, the pathologist’s report diagnosed a middle ear adenoma.Discussion. Middle ear glandular tumors are extremely rare and, despite numerous histological techniques, continue to defy satisfactory classification. Most surgeons advocate surgical excision though evidence of the tumour’s natural course and risk of recurrence is lacking.

AbstractObjective:We present a technique which we have found useful for the management of congenital cholesteatoma extensively involving the middle ear.Case report:A five-year-old boy was presented to our department for management of a white mass on the right tympanic membrane. This congenital cholesteatoma extensively occupied the tympanic cavity. It was removed through an extended tympanotomy approach using our modified sleeve technique. The conventional tympanotomy approach was extended by gently separating the tympanic annulus from its sulcus in a circular manner. The firm attachment of the tympanic membrane at the umbo was not severed, in order to avoid lateralisation of the tympanic membrane.Conclusion:Although various operative techniques can be used, our modified sleeve tympanotomy approach provides a similarly sufficient and direct visualisation of the entire middle ear, with, theoretically, no possibility of lateralisation of the tympanic membrane and subsequent conductive hearing loss.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of congenital cholesteatoma affecting the occipital bone.Methods:We present a case report, plus a review of the world literature on similar lesions.Results:This case report describes the presentation and treatment of a congenital cholesteatoma arising in an apparently unique location within the occipital bone, with no effect on middle-ear structure or function. The different imaging characteristics of this lesion are described and illustrated. The discussion centres on the differentiation of this lesion from intradiploic epidermoid cysts, more commonly described in the neurosurgical literature. The possible methods of pathogenesis are discussed, along with treatment suggestions.Conclusion:Congenital cholesteatomas and intradiploic epidermoid cysts are indistinguishable both histologically and radiologically, and would appear to be the same disease.

AbstractObjective:We report a case of bilateral conductive hearing loss caused by stapedial suprastructure fixation with normal footplate mobility.Case report:A 50-year-old woman had suffered hearing loss in both ears since childhood. Exploratory tympanotomy revealed immobility of the stapes due to a bony bridge between the stapedial suprastructure and the fallopian canal. The incus was missing, while the malleus handle was minimally deformed. The mobility of the stapes footplate was normal. Post-operatively, the hearing in the right ear improved both subjectively and audiographically, while that in the left ear did not improve because of footplate subluxation during surgery.Conclusion:This is a rare case of congenital stapedial suprastructure fixation with normal footplate mobility. In this patient, development of the second branchial arch was arrested. When performing exploratory tympanotomy for stapedial fixation, one must keep in mind that normal footplate mobility is possible.

Salivary gland choristoma is an extremely rare middle ear pathology. We present the case of a 10-year-old girl with unilateral conductive hearing loss. Tympanotomy showed a nonspecific middle ear mass, absence of stapes, anomaly of incus, and displaced facial nerve. It was not possible to remove the mass completely. Histology confirmed salivary gland choristoma. The hearing in this case can be improved with a bone-anchored hearing aid.

AbstractObjectiveThis case report presents a middle-ear osteoma mimicking otosclerosis that was located at the promontory. The osteoma was successfully excised using an endoscopic transcanal approach without any complication.Case reportA 21-year-old man presented with a 4-year history of progressive conductive hearing loss (47 dB with a 30-dB air–bone gap) with intermittent tinnitus of recent onset in his right ear. Endoscopic transcanal middle-ear exploration showed that an osteoma located on the promontory was restricting the mobility of the stapes by affecting the anterior crus of the stapes. After transcanal resection of the osteoma, pure tone audiometry improved to 23 dB with a 5-dB air–bone gap. Tinnitus resolved spontaneously without any additional treatment.ConclusionPromontory osteomas, a rare and usually asymptomatic clinical entity, should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis in patients with progressive conductive hearing loss and tinnitus with intact stapedial reflexes and normal otoscopic findings.

AbstractObjective:To report a rare case of a symptomatic malleo-incudal osteoma, and to highlight the difficulties in making the clinical diagnosis.Method:Case report and literature review.Results:Malleo-incudal osteoma is a rare cause of unilateral conductive hearing loss. Its symptoms may mimic those of other otological causes of conductive hearing loss, such as otosclerosis.Conclusion:This case report highlights the challenges involved in establishing a clinical diagnosis of malleo-incudal osteoma. It also emphasises the importance of assessing the mobility of the divided ossicular chain during a planned stapedectomy.

<p class="abstract">Suppurative otitis media is one of the most common ear diseases in developing countries. The advent of antibiotics has decreased the otogenic complications of this disease. Benzold’s abscess is one such rare complication of chronic suppurative otitis media. The study was done with the objective to report a case of a patient presenting with Bezold’s abscess as a complication of chronic suppurative otitis media. The case report included a 13 year old female presented with a complaint of foul smelling and scanty discharge in left ear for the past 2 years. She developed fever &amp; a painful swelling in left side of neck extending from the tip of mastoid to the angle of mandible which was of 1 week duration. Clinical examinations and investigations revealed as left sided chronic suppurative otitis media (active squamosal type) with severe conductive hearing loss with a rare extracranial complication of Bezold’s abscess. Chronic suppurative otitis media can lead to a rare complication of Bezold’s abscess<span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p>
