내이와 내이도를 침범한 만성 진주종성 중이염 1예

The incidence of complications in chronic ear disease has been reduced because of the development and widespread use of antibiotics. Therefore, cases of tympanogenic labyrinthitis following acute exacerbation of chronic ear disease have rarely been reported in recent literature. We experienced an unusual case of inflammation extended into the inner ear and internal auditory canal following chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma in a 74 year female patient. The patient was treated with radical mastoidectomy without obliteration and intravenous antibiotic therapy. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2013;24:233–237)
