Abstract
Background: Primary cholesteatoma of the temporal bone is a very rare disease. Initially, the tympanic membrane is intact, and often facial palsy may be the presenting symptom. The authors present a case of primary cholesteatoma which was surgically treated using a transmastoid-translabyrinthine approach. Other surgical approaches to the petrous apex are discussed.
