Blast-Induced Cholesteatomas After Spontaneous Tympanic Membrane Healing.
CONCLUSIONS: BICs can develop behind intact tympanic membrane or along with TM perforation. Based on the current review, when a TM perforation and spontaneous healing were documented, after blast exposure, MRI scan is an integral component of the follow-up. The optimal timing for MRI performance after blast exposure, is yet to be identified.
