Normally middle ear cleft linings: Ciliated columnar in anterior and inferior part. Cuboidal in middle part. There is nowhere lined by keratinisingsquamous epithelium in middle ear cleft. Presence of this epithelium in middle ear is called cholesteatoma(skin in the wrong place) CHOLESTEATOMA
1)Presence of congenital cell rests. 2)Invagination TM from attic or posterosuperior part of pars tensa in the form of retraction pockets(wittmacck’s theory). 3)Basal cell hyperplasia(Rueid’s theory) 4)Epithelial invasion(Habermann’s theory) 5)Metaplasia(Sade’s theory) Origin of cholesteatoma

Expansion of cholesteatoma and destruction of bone Once cholestetoma enters middle ear cleft , it invades surrounding structures,first by following the path of least resistance, and then by enzymatic bone destruction which is caused by collagenase , acid phosphatase and proteolytic enzymes which are liberated by osteoclasts and mononuclear inflammatory cells.
It is long standing infection of a part or whole of the middle ear cleft , characterised by ear discharge and permanent perforation . Epidemiology: Higher incidence in developing countries. Both sexes and all age group s are affected. Singlemost imp. Cause of hearing loss. Chronic suppurative otitis media
A)Tubotympanic :Also called safe or benign type . Involves antero inferior part with central perforation. B)Atticoantral: Also called unsafe or dangerous type . Involves the posterosuperior part and is associated with an attic or marginal perforation . Often associated with bone eroding process. Types of CSOM
Pathology: 1)Perforation of pars tensa 2)Middle ear mucosa 3)Polyp 4)Ossicular chain 5)Tympanosclerosis 6)Fibrosis and adhesions A)Tubotympanic type
