[Clinical and diagnostic observations of a complicated course of chronic otitis media, cholesteatoma in children].

Formation of labyrinth fistulas and destruction of the facial nerve canal in children with middle ear cholesteatoma is rare. Data of children with cholesteatoma of the middle ear, operated in the ENT department of MONIKI, is analyzed. Several clinical observations of multiple-aged patients with the presence of cholesteatoma intra-temporal complications are presented. The preoperative computer tomography made it possible to diagnose the presence of the labyrinth fistula and the destruction of the facial nerve channel, which was confirmed intraoperatively.
