Osteoradionecrosis of the temporal bone after external-beam radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is not uncommon following a long posttreatment interval. We describe the case of a man who had experienced this complication 13 years after he had undergone such radiotherapy. His condition resolved after removal of dead bone from the external auditory canal, followed by antibiotic therapy and periodic aural toileting.
鼻咽癌外照射放疗后,颞骨放射性骨坏死在较长的治疗后间隔期并不少见。我们描述了一名男子的病例,他在接受这种放疗13年后出现了这种并发症。在从外耳道清除死骨,随后进行抗生素治疗和定期耳部冲洗后,他的病情得到缓解。
