  • Title: Osteoradionecrosis of the temporal bone.
    Author: Thornley GD, Gullane PJ, Ruby RR, Heeneman H.
    Journal: J Otolaryngol; 1979 Oct; 8(5):396-400. PubMed ID: 501774.
    Abstract:
    Six cases of osteoradionecrosis of the temporal bone are described. Persistent symptoms of otitis externa refractory to local treatment measures should alert the physician to the possibility of underlying osteoradionecrosis. Treatment of superficial parotidectomy and partial temporal bone resection with preservation of the facial nerve is indicated if local aggressive conservative measures fail to control the disease. Benign mixed tumors of the parotid gland should be treated surgically with avoidance of radiotherapy.
