Abstract

A case is reported of a ceruminoma invading through the petrous temporal bone and meninges and into the cerebellum and brain stem. The tumour presented initially as a progressive facial palsy and later involved other cranial nerves. The poor prognosis and the importance of early recognition and radical treatment of this tumour is emphasized.
