“…1,6 Hemangioma has been described as a vascular blush on arteriography. 8 Our patient did not undergo pre-operative embolization due to financial constraints. However, we only sustained a total 900 ml blood loss out of an allowable blood loss of 1,095 ml.…”

“…4 Some cases reported in literature had no bony erosion or involvement of ossicular chain because they were either limited to the external auditory canal or early intervention was done. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Our patient had erosion of both the posterior and anterior auditory ear canal walls and all ossicles. On Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), T1 weighted images show a lesion of moderate intensity and T2 weighted images show high intensity while the tumor is clearly enhanced.…”

“…The procedure can be done transcanal if there is only external ear involvement or transmastoid with middle ear involvement. 1,4,[8][9][10] In our patient, a transmastoid approach was done for both middle ear and external auditory canal involvement. Compared to other cases where middle ear structures like the ossicles were not involved, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] our patient had erosion of the ossicles with ossification of the stapes footplate.…”

Objective: To discuss a rare case of temporal bone capillary hemangioma, and its diagnosis and management. Methods: Design: Case Report Setting: Tertiary Government Hospital Patient: One Results: A 44-year old woman with a history of on-and-off right ear discharge, tinnitus and decreased hearing, and a pinkish, smooth-surfaced, non-friable, non-pulsating mass occluding the right external auditory canal, was initially treated for chronic suppurative otitis media with aural polyp. A punch biopsy due to persistence of disease despite medical treatment revealed capillary hemangioma. She underwent canal wall down mastoidectomy with obliteration to completely resect the tumor. Conclusion: Capillary hemangiomas of the temporal bone are benign lesions that may lead to complications such as bone erosion, hearing loss, recurrent infection and bleeding if left untreated. Surgery remains the ideal treatment, and recurrence is rare and the prognosis is good if resection is complete. Keywords: Hemangioma, capillary hemangioma, temporal bone, middle ear

“…They usually present with hearing loss or other symptoms of tinnitus, dizziness, otorrhoea and are rarely detected incidentally. 6 Otoscopy shows reddish mass behind TM, more at the posterior half and attic than at the anterior half. 7,8 Glomus, being the most common benign tumor of middle ear, is the usual clinical diagnosis.…”

Aim:To report a rare case of hemangioma involving external and middle ear.Background: Vascular anomalies are common in head and neck but rarely reported in the ear. Hemangiomas are tumors growing with age. They can cause significant morbidity in the enclosed spaces of the ear.Case report: A 6-year-old boy presented with itching and pain in the right ear on evaluation had a polyp in the external auditory canal. He underwent excision biopsy of the lesion which was reported as hemangioma involving external and middle ear. Conclusion:Otological hemangioma is not much studied. We here report a case of hemangioma involving both external and middle ear, which is sixth such case in the literature.Clinical significance: Knowing the various presentations will help in early diagnosis and appropriate management of these lesions

“…In der Literatur (Medlinesuche Schlagwörter "hemangioma" und "middle ear" bis 2016) finden sich insgesamt 19 Fälle mit Hämangiomen, von denen 17 Fälle den Gehörgang und nur 2 das Mittelohr bzw. das Mastoid betrafen [5,13,10,16]. Bei den beiden letztgenannten Fällen handelte es sich jedoch um Patienten der 7.…”

Report of a rare case of severe bleeding from the middle ear cavity after myringotomy. On the basis of the case report, the procedure for such bleeding is discussed in the context of the literature. A 6-year-old boy received a revision myringotomy in an ambulant setting. During the procedure a severe bleeding occurred. The external auditory canal was adequately packed. The patient was extubated and transferred to the clinic as an emergency. Computer tomography of the temporal bone showed the anatomical variant of a dehiscent high jugular bulb, which had been injured. Because no rebleeding occurred, the packing of the ear canal was removed and an explorative tympanoscopy was performed on the third postoperative day. When the tympanomeatal flap was lifted, the defect in the jugular bulb was found. The lesion was covered with Tutopatch pads and fibrin glue and the auditory canal was packed again. After removal of the packing three weeks postoperatively a properly healed situs was found. No further measures were taken. The injury of a dehiscent jugular bulb in the course of ear surgeries leads to a massive hemorrhage. The case describes the diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for this relatively rare but severe complication.
