Abstract
OBJECTIVE: (1) Discuss the presentation and management of persistent stapedial artery (PSA) discovered incidentally during cholesteatoma surgery. (2) Review use of carbon dioxide (CO
PATIENTS: Two consecutive patients with PSA and primary acquired cholesteatoma.
INTERVENTION(S): Tympanomastoidectomy using a canal wall reconstruction technique.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Surgical healing, collateral damage to surrounding anatomy, and postoperative hearing.
RESULTS: Persistent stapedial artery was detected incidentally in 2 patients, manifesting with heavy pulsatile bleeding arising during dissection of mesotympanic cholesteatoma. Preoperative computed tomography scans demonstrated absent foramen spinosum but no other aberrant vascular anatomy. Using CO
