“…25 Schwartz describes successful closure of an EAC-TMJ fistula in a previously irradiated temporal bone with fascia lata. 26 In this series three patients had fistulae from the EAC to the TMJ. These patients presented with pain around the TMJ, and hearing a crackling sound each time the jaw is opened.…”

Objective To study osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the temporal bone Study Design Retrospective case review Setting Academic medical center Patients Patients were included who had previously undergone radiation to the head and neck and then developed exposed necrotic bone within the ear canal that persisted at least three months Intervention(s) Patients were treated with a variety of modalities, including conservative therapy with antibiotic ear drops and in-office debridements, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and surgery. Main Outcome Measure(s) To describe the presentation and management of patients with temporal bone osteoradionecrosis. Results 33 patients with temporal bone osteoradionecrosis were included. The most common site of primary tumor was the parotid gland (n=11), followed by the nasopharynx (n=7). The time to development of ORN varied between 1 and 22 years, with mean 7.9 years. The mean radiation dose was 62.6 Gy to the primary tumor, 53.1 Gy to the affected temporal bone, and 65.2 Gy to the affected tympanic bone. The most common symptoms of ORN were otorrhea (n=15), hearing loss (n=13), and otalgia (n=12). 15 patients had bacterial superinfection, most commonly S. aureus (n=9). Conservative therapy was successful at managing symptoms but not in eradicating exposed bone in most patients. Surgery was used for recalcitrant pain, infection, cholesteatoma, cranial neuropathies, and intracranial complications. Conclusions Osteoradionecrosis is a rare complication of radiation to the temporal bone. Management should be aimed at relief of symptoms, eradication of superinfection, and treatment of other commonly present radiation effects like cholesteatoma and hearing loss.

“…Eine spontane Herniation durch ein solches offenes Foramen könn-te die Folge einer lang anhaltenden, hohen mechanischen Belastung der den Defekt verschließenden Gewebestrukturen sein. Dafür spricht, dass die Kasuistiken in der Regel Patienten oberhalb des mittleren Lebensalters beschreiben [2,9,10,12,13,15]. fer-und Gesichtschirurgen [18].…”

“…Die chirurgischen Techniken der wenigen Kasuistiken variieren sowohl hinsichtlich des gewählten Zugangs als auch des zur Defektdeckung verwendeten Materials. Es wurden sowohl ein Temporalislappen [17] als auch Tragusknorpel [13], Fascia lata [15] und Kunstsoff [2] verwendet.…”

The bone between the external auditory meatus and temporomandibular joint may be destroyed as a result of canaloplasty or malignant otitis externa. This may lead to herniation of the joint capsule into the external auditory canal. Spontaneous herniation through a foramen of Huschke (bony dehiscence in the anterior wall of the tympanic bone) is rare. We present a case of spontaneous herniation with otorrhea.
