Dr. Darrow, read your post re: cholesteatoma, do you ever find
that these growths continue past the ear drum area and into the
brain? Are some congenital? I know that epidermoid brain tumors
often found at the cerrebellopontine angle near the 7th and 8th
cranial nerves origin have also been called
"cholesteatomas" and am wondering about their
relationship to those found in the ear. If you have any info
please email me at
samajane@braintrust.org thanks!
