Two patients developed cholesteatomos following conservative surgical treatment of facial palsy by antro-atticotomy of the bony framework. As the middle ear was not affected the lesions probably arose from the internal auditory meatus, and this was confirmed in one case. The association of stenosis of the external auditory meatus due to sliding and retraction of the external ear raises the question of the need for its correction to prevent this rare complication.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the puncture accuracy of four conventional frontal ventriculostomy methods, using patient data from CT scans to create a 3D model for simulation.
- Data from 206 patients showed varying levels of puncture accuracy: IMC (13.3%), MAM (74.5%), P (90.5%), and CMC (100%) with corresponding puncture depths.
- Results indicate that CMC and P trajectories are more reliable than MAM for puncture accuracy, while the IMC trajectory is only advisable for wider frontal horns.

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid diversion via shunt placement is a common neurosurgical intervention. Keen's Point is a widely used landmark for accessing the trigone of the lateral ventricle; however, it lacks clinical validation. This study re-evaluates Keen's Point scalp parameters using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify an ideal shunt entry point based on 3-dimensional reconstructions.

Article Synopsis
- Traditional methods for accessing the human cochlear nerve are limited due to its location within the skull's bony structure.
- This study introduces a minimally invasive technique for directly reaching the cochlear nerve to apply new regenerative treatments.
- Using advanced imaging and anatomical studies, researchers identified a safe pathway to the nerve and successfully validated it on multiple human temporal bones.
