| Abstrakt: | Defects in the tegmen tympani can have serious consequences such as intracranial infection and seizures, however, they can be difficult to diagnose due to their subtlety on cross-sectional imaging and the non-specific way in which they can present. Repair of such defects can be undertaken via a middle fossa or transmastoid approach; both, however, usually necessitate a general anaesthetic and, furthermore, middle cranial fossa surgery carries the risk of epilepsy while transmastoid repair can result in the loss of hearing. We present a novel method of repair in a patient who would otherwise have been managed conservatively. (2014 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.) |
