Spontaneous Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks in Congenital and Acquired Temporal Bone Defects - Long-Term Follow-Up

AbstractWhen performing translabyrinthine surgery for acoustic neuroma, the surgeon opens the cerebrospinal fluid space. To prevent the development of post-operative meningitis, the surgical defect should be closed reliably in a watertight fashion. To date, this has been done with success in 12 patients altogether using a self-curing bone cement (ionomeric cement). During follow-up for a maximum of three years there has been no evidence of cerebrospinal fluid leaks.

Long Term Follow Up

Benign chondroblastoma is a rare tumor in the temporal bone. It occurs preponderantly in middle-aged men as a mass in the posterosuperior region of the ear canal and is accompanied by hearing loss. On pathologic examination, giant cells and focal regions of chondroid differentiation are noted. After the extent of the tumor has been determined, the treatment is surgical removal. Preoperative irradiation may be helpful. Long-term follow-up is essential.

Therapeutic Irradiation

Osteoradionecrosis of the temporal bone is a rare but potentially lethal complication of therapeutic irradiation to the cranial vault and surrounding tissues. The possibility that radionecrosis of the endomeatal skin and secondary infection are simultaneously prerequistite and responsible for the development of this condition is reviewed. The long-term follow-up of such patients is urged as well as the continued reporting of this complication.

Abnormal Pigmentation

Fibrous dysplasia of bone is a benign idiopathic disorder where abnormal fibro-osseous tissue replaces normal bone. The bony abnormalities may be associated with endocrine disorders and abnormal pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes. Involvement of the temporal bone is a very rare occurrence. We report a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the temporal bone with associated lymphadenopathy. To our knowledge this association has not been previously described in the literature. We also emphasise the need for long term follow up of patients with this condition as cholesteatoma may develop insidiously.
