ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To describe a rare complication of cholesteatoma.METHODS:
Case report with literature review.RESULTS:
We report a case of a 37-year-old male who presented for evaluation of otorrhea, headache, and progressive left sensorineural hearing loss. Clinical and radiologic evaluation demonstrated a large recurrent attic cholesteatoma with erosion into the lateral and superior semicircular canals, and diffuse enhancement of the internal auditory canal and cerebellopontine angle suggestive of hypertrophic pachymeningitis secondary to cholesteatoma. After treatment with a course of antibiotics and canal wall down mastoidectomy surgery for cholesteatoma exteriorization, he experienced improvement of his symptoms and resolution of hypertrophic pachymeningitis.CONCLUSION:
Hypertrophic pachymeningitis is a rarely described complication of cholesteatoma. In the context of cholesteatoma, treatment with antibiotics and surgical removal or exteriorization of cholesteatoma are effective treatments for HP.Palabras clave
