  • Title: Preauricular cyst associated with congenital cholesteatoma: an unusual cause of facial palsy.
    Author: Landers SA, May M.
    Journal: Am J Otol; 1994 Mar; 15(2):273-5. PubMed ID: 8172317.
    Abstract:
    An unusual case is reported in which a preauricular cyst associated with a congenital cholesteatoma caused facial nerve paralysis in a 40-year-old woman. The patient underwent three exploratory temporal bone operations to locate a source of facial nerve compression, but the cause of the palsy was not found until resection of a preauricular cyst revealed an epithelial tract that was traced through the external auditory canal and across the tegmen tympani to the site of the cholesteatoma.
