OSSICULAR CHANGES IN CHRONIC OTITIS MEDIA:
EROSION
| Description | : | The commonest cause of ossicular erosion is cholesteatoma.
The specimen was removed at surgery from a patient with an extensive cholesteatoma. The head of this malleus was all that was left in the middle ear. The remainder of the malleus had been eroded by the cholesteatoma and the chronic inflammatory process in the middle ear. |
