Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors 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.

Will I always have this problem? Can it be removed or cured? What is a cholesteatoma? 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 as 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.

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. On CT-images cholesteatoma usually presents as a more or less rounded soft tissue mass, often centred within the epitympanic recess (

Cholesteatoma What is a cholesteatoma? A cholesteatoma is a skin growth that occurs in an abnormal location, usually in the middle ear behind the eardrum. It is most commonly due to repeated infection, which causes an ingrowth of the skin of the eardrum. It may also be congenital (present at birth). Cholesteatomas often take the form of a cyst or pouch that sheds layers of old skin that builds up inside the ear. Over time, the cholesteatoma can increase in size and destroy the surrounding delicate hearing bones of the middle ear (ossicles). Chronic infection and hearing loss are common side effects of the disease process. Meningitis, dizziness, and facial muscle paralysis are rare but can result from continued cholesteatoma growth. How does cholesteatoma occur? A cholesteatoma usually occurs because of poor eustachian tube function as well as infection in the middle ear.

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

The Medical Consumer's Advocate This letter originally appeared in Dr. Hoffman's column on allHealth.com. Cholesteatoma The writer reports that her young son has had two operations for cholesteatoma; she states that the doctor "botched" the operation, and he is now completely deaf in the operated ear. She is seeking more information on cholesteatoma. Cholesteatoma is best defined as "skin growing in a place where skin normally does not grow." The middle ear (the cavity behind the ear drum) is the usual location for cholesteatoma, but I have heard of cholesteatomas arising within the facial sinuses and other parts of the body (usually as a result of previous penetrating trauma, such as a stab wound, which presumably forced a collection of skin cells into the sinus or body cavity.) Middle ear cholesteatoma can arise in a number of ways. For example, some people have a condition called Eustachian tube dysfunction , in which the Eustachian tubes fail to appropriately ventilate the middle ear space. If the middle ear is poorly ventilated, the air pressure behind the ear drum can become lower than the "outside" air pressure, and if this pressure difference is large and persistent, a portion of the ear drum can be "sucked inward," forming a
