Isolated Temporal Bone’s Paget Disease: A Case Report
Paget’s bone disease (PBD) is a benign tumor of osteoclasts. We report a case of an isolated temporal bone’s Paget disease with unusual evolution to a rapidly functional degradation of vestibulocochlear system. A 60 years old female was
admitted for an isolated, left sided mastoid tumefaction without any inflammatory signs. Initial temporal bone computed tomography (CT) showed a left cotton wool appearance without any ossicles lesion or vestibulocochlear extension.
Anatomo pathological tests confirmed the diagnosis. The outcome was marked by the occurrence of vestibulocochlear
symptoms. Treatment had consisted on subtotal surgery in combination with oral bisphosphonate with improvement of
her clinical conditions. The post operative’s follow-up was simple without any abnormalities. PBD of temporal bone is a
benign disorder. Imaging is considered the most useful diagnosis modality for revealing the disorder that will be confirmed by histological tests. The treatment is based on medical approaches and surgery has few indications.
Bilateral Malleus Ankylosis: a Case Report
Malleus ankylosis known as House syndrome is very rare. It represents 38.1% of congenital malformation of the middle ear [1] if stapes ankylosis is associated.
A Severe Intracranial and Extracranial Complications of The Middle Ear Cholesteatoma (A Report Case)
Otological intracranial and extracranial complications are still a major problem and a life-threatening complication of otitis media mainly cholesteatoma. We present a case of a 40-year-old man, who presented mastoiditis with large subperiosteal abscess, repeated headache and acutely altered mental status, caused by subdural abscess. CT scan was done first to confirm the diagnosis, secondly to monitor the evolution.
