Nowadays, Bezold mastoiditis, as a complication of chronic suppurative otitis media, seldom occurs because of the continuous development of antibiotics. This paper presents a case of Bezold mastoiditis in a patient who suffered from chronic suppurative otitis media, as a result of a trauma during an explosion.
Benign vascular tumors are common in the head and neck region, but they rarely occur in the external auditory canal. The authors present a case of cavernous hemangioma in a 50-year-old patient admitted to the Clinical Republican Hospital. Computed Tomography and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance imaging revealed the presence of a tumor that almost totally occupied the external auditory canal. The vascular tumor was excised by endaural approach. The external auditory canal regained its original shape.
The authors present a case of chronic polyposis otitis media in a 32-year-old patient treated in Clinical Republican Hospital. Computed tomography revealed the presence of an aural polyp which originated from middle ear ossicles. The aural polyp was surgically removed through microdebridation and a type II Wullstein tympanoplasty was performed.
