Popis:	Various cranial approaches exist to address lesions of the petrous apex. Many of these involve skull base approaches with varying degrees of surgical morbidity. We present a unique case of a recurrent petrous abscess that was treated with an endoscopic skull base approach with placement of a permanent stent commonly used for sinus surgery. To our knowledge this is the first report to repurpose this type of stent and employ it long-term (3+ years) without any significant side-effects.
