A rare postauricular cutaneous mastoid fistula, a complication of chronic suppurative otitis media, can be challenging to treat. This study details an unusual case and presents a surgical technique for effective fistula closure.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a persistent middle ear infection.
  • Postauricular cutaneous mastoid fistula is an exceptionally rare complication of CSOM.
  • Fistula management is complicated by necrotic skin edges surrounding the tract.

Observation:

  • An unusual case of a postauricular cutaneous mastoid fistula was identified.
  • The patient presented with a rare manifestation of chronic otitis media.

Findings:

  • A novel surgical technique was employed for fistula closure.
  • The described method addresses the challenges posed by necrotic tissue.

Implications:
