Meningoencephalocoele in a mastoid cavity: a case report and review of literature
J Clin Diagn Res.
2015 Jan.
Abstract
A young adult male presented to us with a discharging mastoid cavity. Clinical and radiological examination revealed cholesteatoma recidivism along with a meningoencephalocoele (ME) which was managed successfully. Two year follow-up revealed no recurrence of the pathology.
Keywords: Mastoid; Meningoencephalocoele; Temporal bone.
