Ways To Help Adam Article Manager Back Back to main Health Information page Disease - Cholesteatoma Tympanic membrane Definition: A type of cyst located in the middle ear. Causes And Risk: Cholesteatoma can be a congenital defect, but it more commonly occurs as a complication of chronic ear infection . Long-term inflammation and malfunction of the eustachian tube leads to chronic negative pressure in the middle ear. This pulls a portion of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) inward, creating a sac or cyst that fills with old skin cells and other debris. The cyst becomes chronically infected. The cyst typically continues to fill with debris over time and may erode the mastoid bone and the bones of the middle ear. Prevention: Prompt and complete treatment of chronic ear infection may help to prevent some cases of cholesteatoma. Symptoms: drainage from the ear , usually chronic hearing loss in one ear pain or numbness in the ear or around the ear dizziness Signs And Tests: Inspection of the ear may show a pocket or perforation (opening) in the eardrum, often with drainage. The deposit of old skin cells may be visible with an otoscope.

Cholesteatoma What is it? It is a mass of skin scales and debris in the middle ear. What effect does it have? 1. It can block sound waves, causing a conductive hearing loss 2. It can damage the ossicles, causing a permanent hearing loss 3. It can damage the facial nerve which runs through the middle ear. 4. If left untreated it will continue to grow, damaging or even destroying the ear, and even growing into the brain and surrounding tissue. There is also a potential risk of meningitis. What causes it? Possible causes include: 1. long-term dysfunction of the eustachian tube causing negative air-pressure in the middle ear 2. otitis media (middle-ear infection) 3. growth of the skin in the ear canal through a hole in the eardrum 4. growth of the skin in the middle ear What is the treatment? Surgery to remove the growth. If the growth has damaged the ossicles, then reconstructive surgery may be necessary. back to index

CHOLESTEATOMA Cholesteatomas are benign growths of skin in the middle ear and mastoid. These "skin cysts" can and do cause many problems in the ear. Cholesteatomas commonly cause hearing loss and infections. The only treatment available to cure a cholesteatoma is surgery. The surgery that is typically performed is tympanoplasty with or without mastoidectomy. Cholesteatomas left untreated can go on to cause serious and sometimes life threatening health problems, such as meningitis or brain abscess. Cholesteatomas can develop in both children and adults. Surgery is usually done as day surgery (outpatient). Back to Pediatric Otology Page Back to Otology/Neurotology/Skull Base Surgery Homepage

Differential Diagnosis: 90% of cases with this constellation of findings will be cholesteatoma. Cholesterol granuloma, metastasis, rhabdomyosarcoma, and carcinomas such as squamous cell, adeno, and adenoid cystic could also be considered. This is the wrong location for glomus tympanicum (cochlear promontory), and the findings are not consistent with vascular lesions.

From: anonymous@aol.com Subject: cholesteatoma Posted-By: xx108 (ENT Clinic Moderator) Organization: Organization For Community Networks Date: Sat, 26 Apr 1997 22:44:49 -0400 (EDT) Newsgroups: ofcn.clinic.ent Hi, I went to see the doctor in ENT for my middle ear infection and was told I need a surgery for my cholesteatoma. I have three questions: 1) How can I find the best doctor for my surgery or second opinion? I live in Boston, MA area. Should I find a otologist/neurotologist, or otolaryngologist? 2) My doctor told me he has 9 years' surgery experience on cholesteatoma, average once a month, all of which are successful and patients do not have significan long-term problem, no law suits. Is this doctor experienced enough? What other background should I check? 3) I read the info in internet and learned a lot of risks involved with such surgery. But seems to me my doctor's success in such surgeries proves that it is not that risk at all. Am I right? Can you tell me more on those risks (with percentage)? Thanks a lot for your advice

I would appreciate some information concerning this Sincerely, Answer A thorough and technical discussion of cholesteatoma may be found on the internet (World Wide Web) at the following address: http://www.bcm.tmc.edu/oto/grand/10793.html In brief, the term cholesteatoma refers to a cyst-like tumor inside the ear composed of a matrix layer within which there is desquamating epithelium similar to skin. At the interface between the matrix and normal tissues there is enzymatic activity which results in destruction of the normal tissue and enlargement of the cholesteatoma. There are many theories regarding the pathogenesis of cholesteatomas, however there are 3 primary ones:
