Abstract:
A case of an osteoma of the internal auditory canal in a patient with severe hearing loss is presented. Osteomata of the internal auditory canal have only rarely been diagnosed. Symptoms consist in sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo and/or tinnitus. CT scan is an appropriate imaging modality. In selected cases surgery can be beneficial. A review of the literature is presented.
