Abstract

ABSTRACT Post traumatic cholesteatoma is a late but potentially lethal complication of trauma to the temporal bone. Patients may present with this complication between one to twenty five years, following the initial insult. Patients usually present with a hearing loss and foul smelling discharge from the ears. Imaging studies with a CT scan will confirm the clinical suspicion. The recommended management is a canal wall down mastoidectomy and total excision of the cholesteatoma sac.
