Surgical correction of dural herniation into the mastoid cavity.
A temporoparietal craniotomy as the approach of choice employed by the authors is presented for the surgical correction of dural herniation into the mastoid cavity in our series of four cases of middle fossa defects caused by previous operative procedures (mastoidectomy for removal of cholesteatoma) performed elsewhere. At the Triological Meeting a color movie accompanied the presentation of this paper.
