Glial Heterotopia of the Middle Ear: First Case in Indian Literature.

A 66-years-old female presented with impaired hearing of two-year duration and a recent ear discharge. High-resolution computed tomography and intra-operative findings showed a mass lesion in the right middle ear cavity that was unconnected with the brain. A histopathological diagnosis of glial heterotopia was made and an etiopathogenic hypothesis was analysed.
