Abstract

Temporal bone meningocele is an uncommon condition in which middle fossa meninges prolapse into the middle ear through a tegmen defect.
These bone defects may be spontaneous or acquired, resulting from head trauma or ear surgery. Some of the most common symptoms include conductive hearing loss, headache, otorrhea and recurrent acute otitis media. Rare but more severe complications may be otogenic meningitis or cerebral abscess.
