Abstract
- We experienced a case of primary middle ear tuberculosis extended to skull base and cervical spines. There were many reports of middle ear tuberculosis in korea, but no case of tuberculosis extended to the skull base has been reported. The patient underwent mastoidectomy for the diagnosis and the pathologic report was compatible with tuberculosis. We checked serially computed tomography and magnetic resonance image during 18 months of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy and could find the gradual improvements of the infiltrating destructive skull base lesion.
