Article Description

Among the extracranial complications of cholesteatoma, the most common is labyrinthine fistula (LF). The causes are still poorly understood for cholesteatoma-induced labyrinthine fistula. Some of the possible factors described in the literature are the patient's age, duration of the disease, growth pattern of cholesteatoma, and disease aggressiveness. These affect the site of development of labyrinthine fistula. Cholesteatoma and its complications pose a great burden on the economic and health sector of developing nations.
