AI Article Synopsis
- A 14-year-old boy underwent surgery for labyrinthitis caused by a large congenital cholesteatoma located behind an intact eardrum.
- Despite showing symptoms of impaired right inner ear function, the boy's referral for treatment was delayed, ultimately leading to permanent loss of hearing in that ear.
- The report discusses the diagnosis, treatment options, and complications associated with congenital cholesteatoma.
Article Abstract
A rare case of congenital cholesteatoma as a cause of acute labyrinthitis is presented in the report. 14-years old boy was operated due to labyrinthitis caused by a huge cholesteatoma discovered behind intact tympanic membrane. On the first examination the symptoms indicated lack of right inner ear function, so unfortunately the referral was to late and the patient resulted in the dead ear. The diagnosis of congenital cholesteatoma as well as treatment of the entity and its subsequent complications is discussed in the report.

Transcanal Endoscopic Ear Surgery for Pediatric Bilateral Congenital Cholesteatoma: A Report of Two Cases.

Bilateral congenital cholesteatoma (BCC) is rare among congenital cholesteatoma (CC) cases, and bilateral surgery poses a significant psychophysical burden on pediatric patients. Here, we present 2 pediatric cases of BCC that were successfully managed using simultaneous bilateral transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES). The surgical approach provided clear visualization of the middle ear structures, enabling successful cholesteatoma removal with minimal invasiveness and a short operative time.

Purpose: To investigate the differences in computed tomography (CT) features between closed-type congenital cholesteatoma (CCC) and open-type congenital cholesteatoma (OCC) of the middle ear and to evaluate the usefulness of preoperative CT examination for staging workup of congenital cholesteatoma (CC) in correlation with the surgical findings.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the preoperative CT scans of the temporal bone obtained from 80 patients with surgically confirmed CC of the middle ear. All patients had a solitary lesion, except for one patient with two lesions, resulting in 81 CCs, which formed the basis of this study.

Alteration in the ubiquitin-proteasome system results in human disorders with neurological and/or autoinflammatory presentation. Haploinsufficiency of PSMD12, which encodes a subunit of the core component of the proteasome, causes Stankiewicz-Isidor syndrome (STISS), characterized by intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, craniofacial dysmorphisms, with or without other congenital anomalies, and autoinflammation. We described six patients (four adults) from two unrelated families carrying a known p.

Article Synopsis
- First branchial cleft anomalies (FBCAs) are rare congenital disorders that can cause variable symptoms and complex anatomical issues, often misdiagnosed as other conditions like cholesteatoma.
- A 4-year-old girl presented with a painless mass in her left ear, leading to a thorough diagnostic process involving multiple imaging techniques that confirmed an FBCA.
- Surgical intervention to resect the fistula was successful, with no postoperative complications or recurrence, emphasizing the need for precise diagnosis and treatment in such cases.

Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 123 patients with atticotomy, exploring the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing atticotomy and the efficacy of hearing reconstruction methods. 123 patients with atticotomy were divided into three groups according to the ossicular chain treatment method: preservation of the ossicular chain group（37 cases）, cartilage elevation of stapes group（49 cases）, and PORP group（37 cases）. The clinical characteristics of patients with atticotomy, preoperative and postoperative hearing levels of the three groups of patients, and postoperative complications were analyzed.
