Abstract

The study aimed to describe our experience with a case of tegmen defect that was approached transmastoid and was closed extradurally with titanium mesh. This was a retrospective review of surgical steps with cross reference to the clinical and radiological data collected. Two-year follow-up of the patient showed successful closure of the defect. Transmastoid approach can be considered even in a moderately large-sized tegmen defect and can thus avoid craniotomy which is a procedure with far superior morbidity.
