accuracy of clinical and radiologic diagnosis of cholesteatoma

This is a retrospective study for the cases of chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma. The aim of work was to throw light upon the variable clinical presentations and radiological findings among those patients as well as to study the operative details done. The study included 135 patients proved by surgical exploration to be complicated by cholesteatoma formation. These cases were admitted during a period of two years from 1988 to the end of 1989
