Abstract

The significance of the presence of the mastoid antrum is due to its position as an important landmark in the surgical approach to the mastoid.The mastoid antrum is the largest air cell and communicates anteriorly with the attic through an opening called aditus. It is relatively constant bilaterally even in cases of chronic otitis media. Absence of the mastoid antrum may cause severe complications in mastoid surgery. In the English literature, there is only one case of unilateral agenesis of the mastoid antrum in an adult without any congenital abnormality. A healthy 33-year-old male pre- sented to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology with a history of bilateral, intermittently discarging ears. Examination revealed bilateral large central perforations. Pure tone audiometry showed bilateral 28 dB conductive hearing loss across the frequency range. A preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated absence of the antrum and a prominent Körner’s septum bilaterally. It may be absent only in congenital malfor- mations. In our case, there was no congenital abnormality, but bilateral mastoid antrums were absent. We present the first case of bilateral agenesis of the mastoid antrum without any association with a congenital syndrome.

Özet

Mastoid antrumun varlığının önemi, cerrahi bir landmark olduğu içindir. Mastoid antrum bilateral olarak temporal kemik içinde bulunmaktadır ve en büyük havalı hücredir. Bulunmaması cerrahi sırasında dizoryantasyona sebep olup, fasyal sinir yada labirent yaralanması gibi komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. Kulak cerrahisi yapmak iyi bir anatomi bilgisini gerektirmektedir. Çünkü kulak çok önemli hayati yapılarla komşudur. Mastoid antrumun agenezisinin daha önce yayınlarda bildirilmiş olanlarında hastalarda konjenital anomaliler eşlik ediyordu, bizim hastamızda herhangi bir konjenital anomali yoktu. bu öezelliği ile daha önceki vakalardan farklıdır. Biz bu çalişmada polikliniğimize kulak akıntısı ile başvuran sağlıklı 33 yaşındaki bir erkek hastadan bahsediyoruz. Hastanın ameliyat öncesi çekilen bilgisayarlı tomografisinde bilateral mastoid antrumlarının olmadığı tespit edildi. Literatürde konjenital anomalisi olmadan, sadece unilateral mastoid agenezisi olan bir vaka vardır. Bizim hastamızda konjenital anomali olmadan iki taraflı mastoid antrum agenezisi vardır.
