Extractions: Cholesteatomas are benign tumors in cases where a perforation of the eardrum tympanic membrane ) does not heal without surgery, but instead grows through the hole into the middle ear and, if infection develops, results in a cyst-like tumor. A cholesteatoma cyst consists of desquamating (peeling) layers of scaly or keratinised (horny) layers of epithelium , which may also contain cholesterol crystals. If untreated, a cholesteatoma can eat into the three small bones located in the middle ear (the malleus incus and stapes , collectively called ossicles ), which can result in nerve deterioration, deafness , imbalance and vertigo . It can also affect and erode, through the enzymes it produces, the thin bone structure that isolates the top of the ear from the brain, as well as lay the covering of the brain open to infection with serious complications. A history of ear infection or flooding of the ear during swimming should be taken serious and investigated and cholesteatoma should be considered a possible outcome.

http://www.entusa.com/mastoid_surgery.htm

Extractions: Search PubMed for Cholesteatoma for Mastoidectomy Before the advent of antibiotics, mastoid surgery used to be one of the most frequent surgeries performed. Acute mastoiditis was common and the treatment is a mastoidectomy . Today, mastoid surgery has to be performed less often. The most common indication is to remove a cholesteatoma or a skin cyst in the ear. A cholesteatoma most commonly starts to form from a retraction pocket in the eardrum. The sequence of events is eustachian tube dysfunction which leads to negative pressure in the middle ear . The eardrum is sucked into the middle ear and slowly forms a pocket. The pocket enlarges and retracts deep into the ear. Skin debris gets caught, it becomes infected and slowly expands. A cholesteatoma is formed, it erodes bone and can cause hearing loss, dizziness, facial paralysis and erode into the brain. A mastoid operation is usually performed to remove a cholesteatoma , similar to the one shown in the picture on the right. Two types of

http://www.midwestear.com/educatb.htm

Extractions: A cholesteatoma is a skin growth that occurs in an abnormal location, the middle ear behind the eardrum. It is usually due to repeated infection which causes an ingrowth of the skin of the eardrum. cholesteatomas often take the form of a cyst or pouch which sheds layers of old skin that builds up inside the ear. Over time, the cholesteatoma can increase in size and destroy the surrounding delicate bones of the middle ear. Hearing loss, dizziness, and facial muscle paralysis are rare but can result from continued cholesteatoma growth. How does it occur? A cholesteatoma usually occurs because of poor eustachian tube function was well as infection in the middle ear. The eustachian tube conveys air from the back of the nose into the middle ear to equalize ear pressure ("clear the ears"). When the eustachian tubes work poorly, perhaps due to allergy, a cold or sinusitis, the air in the middle ear is absorbed by the body, and a partial vacuum results in the ear. The vacuum pressure sucks in a pouch or sac by stretching the eardrum, especially areas weakened by previous infections. This sac often becomes a cholesteatoma. A rare congenital form of cholesteatoma (one present at birth) can occur in the middle ear and elsewhere, such as in the nearby skull bones. However, the type of cholesteatoma associated with ear infections is most common. What are the symptoms?

Extractions: Treatment and Removal of Cholesteatomas Cholesteatoma is a serious but treatable ear condition which can only be diagnosed by medical examination. Persisting earache, ear drainage, ear pressure, hearing loss, dizziness, or facial muscle weakness signals the need for evaluation by an otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon. Initial treatment may consist of a careful cleaning of the ear, antibiotics, and ear drops. Therapy aims to stop drainage in the ear by controlling the infection. The extent or growth characteristics of a cholesteatoma must also be evaluated. Large or complicated cholesteatomas usually require surgical treatment to protect the patient from serious complications. Hearing and balance tests, x-rays of the mastoid (the skull bone next to the ear), and CAT scans (3-D x-rays) of the mastoid may be necessary. These tests are performed to determine the hearing level remaining in the ear and the extent of destruction the cholesteatoma has caused. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia in most cases. The primary purpose of the surgery is to remove the cholesteatoma and infection and achieve an infection-free, dry ear. Hearing preservation or restoration is the second goal of surgery. In cases of severe ear destruction, reconstruction may not be possible. Facial nerve repair or procedures to control dizziness are rarely required. Reconstruction of the middle ear is not always possible in one operation; and therefore, a second operation may be performed six to twelve months later. The second operation will attempt to restore hearing and, at the same time, inspect the middle ear space and mastoid for residual cholesteatoma.

Extractions: Cholesteatoma and other Chronic Ear Problems What Causes Hearing Loss in a Normal Ear? The ear is commonly divided into three segments: the external ear which includes the ear lobe and ear canal, the middle ear which includes the ear drum and the ear bones, and the inner ear which houses the hearing organ and the nerve that travels from the ear to the brain. the middle and inner ear represent delicate structures that, when exposed to long term infection and disease, can lead to hearing loss. This hearing loss can either be temporary or permanent. Many times, your doctor will be unable to guarantee the return of your child's hearing loss. However, many times a good estimate of hearing "reserve" can be made from the initial hearing test. What are Ear Drum Perforations and Ear Drainage? The ear drum may develop a hole, (or perforation), due to trauma or infection. In most instances, ear drum perforations caused by infection will close after the infection resolves. However, some perforations are too large to close spontaneously and will become infected causing drainage from the ear. When this occurs, your doctor's first priority is to treat the infection and provide your child with a "safe" ear. This will prevent further hearing loss and damage to the ear due to infection.

Cholesteatoma is usually an acquired disease ('secondary cholesteatoma'), but can be congenital ('primary cholesteatoma'). Acquired cholesteatoma is believed to result from ingrowth of squamous epithelium through marginal tympanic membrane perforations, from retraction pockets or from ingrowth into the middle ear of the basal layer of the tympanic membrane. Acquired cholesteatoma is usually related to chronic otitis media . Secondary cholesteatoma usually arises from the upper part of the tympanic membrane (pars flaccida or Shrapnells membrane ) and will develop primarily within Prussaks space High resolution CT is an excellent technique for showing the location and extent of the lesion prior to surgery.

Often there is accompanying perforation of the tympanic membrane with squamous cell epithelium of the external auditory canal growing through the perforation. The onset of pain in a patient with chronic suppurative otitis media is suggestive of development of a cholesteatoma. On otoscopic examination, it appears as a whitish pearly mass behind the intact tympanic membrane. Complications may give rise to intratemporal and intracranial abnormalities. Intratemporal complications include ossicular destruction, facial nerve paralysis and labyrinthine fistula. Intracranial complications include meningitis, sigmoid sinus thrombosis, temporal lobe abscess and cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea. Though occasionally visible on X-ray, once the lesion is suspected, CT is indicated. On imaging there is a soft tissue mass associated with bony erosion. The anteroposterior extent of destruction is best demonstrated on the axial images while erosion of the tegmen is best illustrated on the coronal images (
