Appointment Helpline
Temporal bone cancer is rare but aggressive, affecting the structures of the ear and surrounding bones. Symptoms include persistent ear pain, hearing loss, and facial nerve weakness. Surgical treatment involves lateral temporal bone resection for localised tumours or subtotal temporal bone resection for extensive disease.
The procedure requires expertise in skull base surgery to ensure complete tumour removal while protecting vital structures such as the facial nerve and inner ear. Post-surgical rehabilitation may include hearing aids or reconstructive procedures to restore function. Close follow-up with imaging and audiological assessment is crucial for long-term disease control and quality of life.
