Cholesteatoma is a non-cancerous yet abnormal skin growth that develops in the middle ear, behind the eardrum. It can occur due to genetic factors or repeated ear infections. Common symptoms include inner ear swelling, chronic ear infections, vertigo, brain abscess, facial muscle paralysis, and meningitis. If left untreated, cholesteatoma can lead to permanent hearing loss. Our expert ENT specialists provide thorough evaluations and perform surgical removal to prevent complications and restore ear health.
