Abstract:
Foreign bodies of the external ear have been frequently encountered in the otolaryngological field. Recently, we experienced an interesting case of jugular bulb injury penetrating through the external auditory canal by an ear foreign body (woodswab), which was removed via mastoidectomy and facial recess approach. Immediately after removal of the foreign body, massive bleeding was followed and was controlled by SurgicelR packing and compression. Reporting this case, we suggest that special attention should be paid if the ear foreign body is associated with massive bleeding.
