Abstract

Medial petrous apex cholesterol granuloma is a benign lesion which treatment is generally based on a trans-nasal marsupialization. When the artificial ostium is created, it is usually kept open with local flaps, like the septal nasopharyngeal "kite flap", a reliable local vascularized flap. Laryngoscope, 134:2111-2114, 2024.

Keywords: local flap; marsupialization; petrous apex cholesterol granuloma.
