|
The author recently experienced 2 cases of chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma which involved with the vestibular and cochlear system of labyrinth. One case was a 36 year-old-male and admitted with chief complaints of mucopurulent aural discharge, otalgia, dizziness and vertigo which persisted about 30 years. Another case was a 22 year-old-male with hearing impairment, purulent aural discharge and dizziness persisted over 10 years.
Vestibular and cochlear function tests were. carried out.. In the both cases, spontaneous nystagmus was not observed, however, induced nystagmus was found in the positioning test. Fistula test revealed nystagmus lateralized to the lesion side. In the gait and stepping tests, falling and unsteady reaction to the lesion side were observed. In the conventional audiometry, definite drops in higher frequency were noticed. Radical mastoidectomy was performed for both cases, and favorable results were obtained.
