“…Osteoma is the most common tumour of the temporal bone in human beings, but most commonly affects the external auditory canal, with only rare reports of middle ear involvement 2 6. In human patients, the most common clinical sign reported from auditory osteomata of all kinds is unilateral conductive hearing loss,7 8 while vestibular signs are occasionally reported in patients with middle ear osteoma 9. In the canine case reported here, the predominant initial presenting complaint was marked retching and gagging on eating, which was initially attributed to either chronic nasopharyngeal irritation from a grass seed foreign body or pharyngitis secondary to gastro‐oesophageal reflux.…”

A one-year-old male neuter dog initially presented with clinical signs of pharyngitis and suspected oesophageal reflux. The dog subsequently developed unilateral (left side) Horner’s syndrome. CT examination of the head and neck revealed a large mixed bone and soft tissue density lesion filling the majority of the left tympanic bulla and extending into the jugular foramen. Marked atrophy of the left sternocephalicus and brachiocephalicus muscles was present. Following recovery from anaesthesia, the dog suffered regurgitation and aspiration, resulting in respiratory and cardiac arrest. Given the imaging findings and grave prognosis, the dog’s owners elected euthanasia. Autopsy examination revealed a tympanic bulla osteoma. The combination of cranial nerve IX, X and XI dysfunction, associated with disease of the jugular foramen, supports a diagnosis of Vernet’s syndrome in this patient.

“…The mechanism responsible for this hearing loss involves ossicular chain fixation [3], dislocation [4], round window obliteration by the osteoma [5], or impingement on the tympanic membrane [6]. The obstruction of eustachian tube by osteomas may cause chronic otitis media or otorrhea, and recurrent otitis media with effusion might cause the elevation of the bone conduction threshold.…”

Multiple Osteomas in Middle Ear

Case Reports in Otolaryngology

Since the first description of middle ear osteomas by Thomas in 1964, only few reports were published within the English literatures (Greinwalid et al., 1998; Shimizu et al., 2003; Cho et al., 2005; and Jang et al., 2009), and only one case of the multiple osteomas in middle ear was described by Kim et al., 2006, which arose from the promontory, lateral semicircular canal, and epitympanum. Here we describe a patient with multiple middle ear osteomas arising from the promontory, incus, Eustachian tube, and bony semicanal of tensor tympani muscle. This patient also contracted the chronic otitis media in the ipsilateral ear. The osteomas were successfully removed by performing type III tympanoplasty in one stage.

“…An otolaryngologist primarily finds osteomas in the paranasal sinus region. In the temporal bone, osteomas occur mainly in the external auditory canal or the mastoid as unilateral, solitary lesions arising from the tympanic bone [1 , 2] . So far, manifestation in the middle ear is rare and has been described only in a few cases [3] .…”
