“…In addition, the skull base and tympanic cavity were affected; thus, a collaboration with neurosurgeons and otolaryngologists was required. Recurrence of lesions after surgery is rarely observed, and only 9% of patients require further surgery 9 . In the present case, although there is no recurrence four months after surgery, a further follow-up period is needed.…”

When encountering a smooth-surfaced mass of uncertain origin, it is important to perform imaging studies before biopsy; inappropriate biopsy may cause facial nerve paralysis. 7,8 Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is useful for diagnosis and decision-making about the surgical approach. 1,3,4,6 If EAC mass raises a suspicion of schwannoma, preoperative computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging should be performed to explore tumor size, location, possible extension, and origin.In our present case, large schwannoma almost completely occluded the EAC and the patient reported a mild sensation of ear fullness. However, active treatment was chosen because we were of the view that conductive hearing loss and recurrent otitis externa caused by EAC obstruction would develop if the mass grew further. If a patient presents with symptoms attributable to a large mass in the EAC, surgical excision should be considered and pathological diagnosis is mandatory.The significance of the case is that schwannoma in the EAC is rare but should be included in the possible diagnosis of a cystic mass. If schwannoma is suspected, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging should be performed to explore tumor size, location, possible extension, and origin before excision. After excision, histopathological confirmation is mandatory. The prognosis after excision of EAC schwannoma is good.

“…Le syndrome de la dent couronnée a été décrit pour la première fois par Dirheimer et Wackenheim en 1974 [ 4 ]. Il se manifeste par un syndrome clinique hétérogène (cervicalgies sensibles aux AINS, raideur cervicale, fièvre) et à la radiographie, on a une calcification du ligament transverse de l'atlas en demi couronne, dense, entourant la partie postérieure de l'odontoïde [ 2 – 5 ]. Il survient le plus souvent chez des femmes [ 2 , 4 ].…”

Le syndrome de la dent couronnée (SDC) est une étiologie peu connue des cervicalgies aiguës. Il est lié le plus souvent à la chondrocalcinose articulaire (CCA), dont il constitue une des localisations atypiques. L'expression clinique du SDC, à type de cervicalgies fébriles, pose en pratique courante, la problématique d’étiologies diverses dont en particulier les infections susceptibles d’égarer le diagnostic. Nous rapportons un cas de SDC révélé par un tableau de pseudo-méningite.
