Cholesteatoma ? A Potential Consequence of Chronic Middle Ear Inflammation

Abstract: Although cholesteatoma is considered to be a benign process, spreading to surrounding structures may lead to severe, sometimes even life-threatening complications [19]. Most of the complications are infectious [4]. Advanced disease typically occurs in older children [45].

“…Tipični stečeni holesteatom srednjeg uha može dovesti do koštane resorpcije temporalne kosti, destrukcije osikularnog lanca i otičke kapsule, infiltracije mastoidnog nastavka, perforacije bubne opne, otoreje, konduktivne i senzorineuralne nagluvosti, vestibularne disfunkcije, neuropatija, sistemske infekcije, hroničnog bola i izmijenjenog mentalnog statusa [1,4].…”

“…acquired. An annual incidence of acquired cholesteatomas is 3 in 100,000 in childhood and 9.2 in 100,000 in adult population, predominantly in males [4][5][6]. Cholesteatoma causes destruction of the temporal bone due to mechanical pressure, enzymatically mediated bone resorption and promotion of acute and chronic infections [7,8].…”

“…The etiology of cholesteatoma is not yet completely understood, but various studies have revealed that a number of factors cooperate in a synergistic way to cause the forming of this nonneoplastic keratinizing lesion, which is characterized by enhanced proliferation of epithelial cells with aberrant morphologic characteristics [ 1 , 5 7 ]. These factors include persistent microbial infection resulting in chronic inflammation, consecutive invasion by cells of the immune system, Eustachian tube dysfunction, aggregation of cellular debris, and increased viscosity of middle ear effusions, in-growth of blood vessels, auditory ossicle resorption, and epithelial hyperplasia [ 7 , 8 ].…”
