    This study describes ten patients with brain hernia, a complication of chronic mastoiditis, found during surgery. Management strategies and the role of granulation tissue in pathogenesis are discussed.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Chronic mastoiditis can lead to insidious complications.
    • Brain hernia is a rare but serious consequence.
    • Previous surgical history and trauma are not always present.

    Observation:

    • Ten patients with brain hernia secondary to chronic mastoiditis were identified during surgery.
    • No instances of cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea were observed.
    • Hernias were either pedunculated (3 patients) or diffuse/fungoid (7 patients).

    Findings:

    • Granulation tissue was a significant component, potentially representing abortive brain abscess formation.
    • Pacchionian bodies may contribute to the pathogenesis of these hernias.
    • The study details a specific management approach for these cases.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the pathogenesis of brain hernia in chronic mastoiditis is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
    • The role of granulation tissue and Pacchionian bodies warrants further investigation.
    • Effective management strategies can improve patient outcomes.
