Objective: To explore the clinic characteristic of petrous bone cholesteatoma.
Method: One case was treated by supra-labyrinth approach. 8 cases did by labyrinth-cochlea approach.
Result: After 2 to 9 years follow-up in the 8 cases, no local cholesteatoma relapsion occurred. 2 cases were treated by facial nerve decompression and facial paralysis did not recover postoperatively. 1 case suffered from facial muscle movement 2 months after operation and recovered after 7 months later. 1 case still needs further follow-up with 2 months postoperatively.
Conclusion: Proper surgical approach should be selected according to location and invasion of disease. Packing with adipose tissue and blocking the external auditory meatus are effective methods to prevent the cerebrospinal fluid leak.

Cerebellar abscess is a reported complication of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and is life threatening at times. It usually develops by direct spread of CSOM through the bony erosion in the petrous bone or by thrombophlebitis of the sigmoid sinus. However, an alternative pathway of infection transmission from the petrous bone to the cerebellum through the anatomical bridge of the cranial nerves has possibly not been described before.

Introduction: The term petrous bone cholesteatoma (PBC) represents a slow-growing epidermal lesion arising from the petrous part of the temporal bone. It is a rare incidence accounting for only 4-9% of all petrous bone lesions. PBC represents a real surgical challenge due to its complex relationship with critical neurovascular structures.

Article Synopsis
- Subtotal petrosectomy is an important surgical procedure for treating advanced cases of cholesteatoma, especially when previous treatments have failed or serious infections are present.
- The procedure involves removing all infected areas of the temporal bone and sealing the ear canal to enhance recovery.
- By doing so, subtotal petrosectomy significantly increases the likelihood of fully eliminating cholesteatoma and reducing the chances of it returning.

Petrous bone cholesteatoma, or cholesteatoma that extends beyond the middle ear and mastoid, represents a rare but destructive pathology. Diagnosis can be difficult before substantial morbidity is incurred, and patients can present with life-threatening complications. Determination of disease extent and the functional status of the facial nerve and cochleovestibular system are critical in surgical planning.
