Treatment

Cholesteatoma is a serious condition and when diagnosed requires prompt treatment. Medical treatment concentrates on eliminating the infection within the ear through surgical removal.

A CT scan is obtained by the ear surgeon to determine how much the cholesteatoma has spread in the ear and whether any erosion has occurred in the inner ear or brain. The CT scan will also indicate the degree to which bones of hearing have been eroded.

Once infection is cleared up and the ear is dry, a decision regarding surgery to remove the cholesteatoma can be made.
