Neurofibromas are common tumours of nervous system, but only few cases have the external auditory canal involvement. Here we are reporting one such case of neurofibroma in 32 year old male patient who presented with bilateral swelling in the external auditory canal and conductive hearing loss on the left side.

Conductive Hearing

The treatment of external auditory canal (EAC) stenoses often requires the prolonged use of a stent or splint. Traditional stents often occlude the EAC, resulting in a temporary conductive hearing loss. This case report describes a custom canal earmold with a large bore used as a stent in a patient with EAC stenosis. The customized earmold stent successfully prevented restenosis, while the large bore provided ventilation and improved hearing subjectively during the stenting phase. El tratamiento de la estenosis del conducto auditivo externo (EAC) a menudo requiere del uso prolongado de un stent o una férula. Los stents tradicionales a menudo ocluyen el EAC, provocando una hipoacusia conductiva temporal. Este reporte describe un caso un molde auditivo hecho a la medida con un agujero grande utilizado como stent en un paciente con estenosis del EAC. El stent de molde auditivo a la medida fue exitoso en prevenir la re-estenosis, mientras que el gran agujero aportó ventilación y mejoró subjetivamente la audición durante la fase de mantenimiento del stent.

<p class="abstract">Neurofibromas are relatively common tumours of the nervous system, but only few cases involving the external ear have been reported. We are reporting here a case of a 30-year-old male with neurofibroma of the external auditory canal. The primary complaint was cosmetic deformity and mild conductive hearing loss. There was total occlusion of the external auditory canal. The swelling was excised by postauricular approach. Surgery resulted in an superb purposeful and cosmetic outcome. Neurofibromas of the head and neck do not seem to be uncommon, however they seldom have an effect on the external ear and only a few such published reports are available.</p>

Subjective Outcomes

The Bonebridge and Vibrant Soundbridge systems are semi-implanted hearing devices, which have been widely applied in patients with congenital conductive hearing loss. However, comparison between these two hearing devices is rare, especially in the same patient. We report a 23-year-old man who underwent successive implantation of Vibrant Soundbridge and Bonebridge devices in the same ear because of dysfunction of the Vibrant Soundbridge. We provide insight on the patient’s experience and compare the audiological and subjective outcomes of satisfaction.

AbstractObjective:To report the first case of treatment of Nager syndrome associated conductive hearing loss with bone-anchored hearing aids, in a three-year-old boy.Method:Clinical case report and current literature review regarding the use of bone-anchored hearing aids in the treatment of conductive hearing loss in children.Results:A three year eight month old boy with Nager syndrome was successfully treated for conductive hearing loss using bilateral bone-anchored hearing aids.Conclusion:This is the first case report of the use of bone-anchored hearing aids to treat Nager syndrome associated conductive hearing loss. Treatment was safe and successful in this case.

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.

We report a 6-year-old girl with progressive bilateral conductive hearing loss for 2 years. She passed the newborn hearing screening conducted with otoacoustic emissions testing and had a normal development of speech and language, which indicated that her deafness was delayed-onset. She also had congenital proximal interphalangeal joints. Proximal symphalangism was confirmed by genetic testing ( NOG gene: c.406C > T, p.R136C). Bilateral stapes ankyloses were proved by surgery and her hearing was improved after stapedotomy by over 30 dB. Besides, this case should remind clinicians to carefully distinguish NOG gene-related deafness from congenital ossicular malformation and pediatric otosclerosis.

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.
