Abstract
|
|
|
The concept of eosinophilic granuloma is of rather recent origin and was named by Lichtenstein and Jaffe, in 1940 as a ,new and interesting entity of unknown origin, although they suggested the possibility of a virus etiology.
In 1952, Harris and Spencer reported a case of a 3-year old girl who suffered from eosinophilic granulomas of both mastoids.
Eosinophilic gxanaloma is the localized variety of histiocytosis X manifested by single or multiple isolated bony lesions and carries a favorable prognosis.
Recently, the authors experienced a case of eosinophilic granuloma of the temporal bone.
The patient, 10 year-old male child, was admitted through OPD with both intermittent otorrhea and hearing impairment.
Law´s view revealed a cholesteatoma like large oval radiolucent defect of the right mastoid, and cloudiness of the left mastoid air cells.
Then it was treated as surgical procedures(tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy) and x-ray therapy with good result.
Now, after follow up study of 11, months, patient has ;good ear findings with improved Bearing.
