Disease recidivism after subtotal petrosectomy and ear canal closure

Published by Elsevier Inc..

PURPOSE: To describe the presentation, diagnosis, and management of chronic otitis media recidivism after subtotal petrosectomy and ear canal closure (STP).

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with temporal bone pathology detected during follow-up after STP were identified in the electronic medical record. Pertinent clinical details regarding surveillance plan, presentation, imaging findings, and revision surgery were collected and analyzed.

RESULTS: A total of 10 patients were identified with recurrent or persistent pathology after STP. The median time to detection was 46 months (IQR 24-84). Five patients (50 %) had non-specific symptomatology, 4 patients (40 %) were completely asymptomatic, and 1 patient (10 %) was asymptomatic outside of two instances of mastoiditis with cochlear implant device infection treated with incision and drainage. One patient (10 %) was noted to have proptosis on examination, but no other patients had objective signs of disease at detection of disease recidivism. Nine (90 %) patients had pathology identified on preoperative imaging. All patients underwent revision surgery, with identification of cholesteatoma in 8 cases (80 %) and cholesterol granuloma in 2 cases (20 %). Extensive disease was noted in 6 patients (60 %), all of whom followed-up greater than 3 years from surgery. All patients tolerated revision surgery without complication.

CONCLUSIONS: Recidivistic disease often remains clinically silent for extended periods of time after STP. Planned follow-up - with imaging or second look surgery - to facilitate early detection should be considered. Undetected disease recurrence or development may result in morbidity in a proportion of patients if surveillance is not performed.
