Post-stapedectomy granuloma: a devastating complication.

CONCLUSION: To the authors' knowledge, this paper reports the only case of post-stapedectomy granuloma tracking to the brainstem. Otalgia was present in all our cases, and may be deemed a red flag symptom of progressive bony destruction and otic capsule involvement. Although granuloma remains rare, it should be considered in any patient with worsening otological symptoms following stapes surgery. PMID: 28316289 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
