Özet

Dış kulağın genellikle kısmen, ender olarak ise total ossifikasyon veya kalsifikasyonu taşlaşmış kulak olarak isimlendirilir. Travma başta olmak üzere hipotermi, enfeksiyon ve çeşitli metabolik hastalıklar etyolojide suçlansa da kesin nedeni ortaya konulamamıştır. Genellikle asemptomatiktir, nadiren ağrı ve hassasiyete, nadiren de işitme kaybına neden olabilir. Bu yazıda, 22 yaşında bilateral işitme kaybı yakınmasıyla kliniğimize başvuran bayan hastayı sunduk. Hastanın tanısı fizik muayene ve temporal kemik bilgisayarlı tomografi ile konuldu. Taşlaşmış kulak ender görülür, semptomatik vaka sayısı ise oldukça azdır. Bu vakayla birlikte, literatür eşliğinde oldukça ender görülen işitme kaybı yapan taşlaşmış kulağı gözden geçirmeyi planladık.
