| Popis: | Objectives To report on two cases of congenital cholesteatoma in patients aged 1 month. To review the clinical and radiological features of congenital cholesteatoma and to clarify the contribution of the CT scan in the diagnosis and the preoperative workup. Patients and methods The authors report two observations of congenital cholesteatoma. These children were investigated using high-resolution CT. The treatment was surgical in both cases. Results The children were 1 month old, presenting with facial paralysis. In the otoscopic exam, the tympanic membrane was normal in both cases, with a whitish retrotympanic soft mass. The diagnosis of congenital cholesteatoma was made based on the CT data. Conclusion Congenital cholesteatoma is rare. Otoscopic examination must be undertaken during the physical exam of a child at a young age to establish an early diagnosis. CT scan allows positive diagnosis and a precise preoperative workup. |
