Middle ear cholesteatoma is a non-cancerous growth in the middle ear. It is a rare condition that is caused when skin and bone fragments become trapped in the middle ear cavity. The growth often affects the hearing, leading to hearing loss and ringing in the ear. In some cases, it can also cause dizziness, balance problems and facial nerve damage. Cholesteatoma is treated surgically with the goal of preserving hearing and restoring balance. Treatment may include antibiotics to treat infection and other medications to reduce swelling. Early diagnosis and treatment of middle ear cholesteatoma is important in order to improve outcomes.
