Osteonecrosis of the External Auditory Canal Associated With Oral Bisphosphonate Therapy

Abstract: The BPECO is not very well-known clinical diagnosis among ENT surgeons and, therefore, often misdiagnosed for ear canal cholesteatoma, malignant otitis externa, or temporal bone malignancies. It seems reasonable to re-review patient's medical history with focus on BP medication in cases with negative biopsy. Although the BP osteonecrosis is a rare phenomenon, the large volume of BP prescription makes the number of patients at risk significant.

“…However, in the presence of extensive soft tissue involvement, microbial cultures may identify coexisting oral pathogens and enable the selection of an appropriate antibiotic regimen. Interestingly, although ONJ is exclusive to the jaws by definition, it should be noted that osteonecrosis of the external auditory canal in patients on BP therapy has also been reported …”

“…ORL, 2019, 10, 4, 295-303 ser un factor de riesgo más importante incluso que la forma de administración. Los estudios más recientes, dividen los BFS en dos clases: nitrogenados (tanto orales como iv) y no-nitrogenados (solo orales) [8,9]. Son empleados como parte del tratamiento de la enfermedad de Paget, hipercalcemia tumoral, mieloma múltiple y metástasis óseas, entre otras.…”

“…El desarrollo de osteonecrosis mandibular está en relación con la potencia del BFS empleado [5]. Existen muy pocos casos publicados de osteonecrosis mandibular en pacientes consumidores de BFS no-nitrogenados en comparación con los más de 3000 casos publicados de los BFS nitrogenados como el alendronato, pamidronato y zoledronato [5,9,10].…”
