Objectives: We evaluated results of treatment and
follow-up of patients with petrous bone lesions.
Patients and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated
13 patients (5 females, 8 males; mean age
33.8±17.4 years; range 4.5 to 65 years) who were
treated and followed-up for petrous bone lesions
between 1990 and 2004. The diagnoses were cholesterol
granuloma (n=2; 15.4%), chondrosarcoma
(n=1; 7.7%) and cholesteatoma (n=10; 76.9%).
Results: Patients with cholesterol granuloma had
complaints of cephalgia and diplopia while those with
cholesteatoma complained of otorrhea and hearing
loss. One patient with cholesterol granuloma and eight
patients with cholesteatoma underwent surgical operations
by use of middle skull base approach (n=1),
transcochlear approach (n=2), translabyrinthine
approach (n=1) and tympanopetrosectomy (n=5). Two
cases with congenital cholesteatoma and one patient
with cholesterol granuloma refused surgical intervention
and were only followed-up.
Conclusion: Besides surgical intervention, followup
by computed tomography or magnetic resonance
imaging may be considered in patients with incidental
petrous bone lesions, presenting with limited
symptoms. Key words: Cholesteatoma; chondrosarcoma; petrousbone.
