Objectives To definite the medially aggressive cholesteatoma.

Study Design: Observational study; Retrospective case series

Setting Tertiary Referral center.

Cases 5 patients who underwent canal wall down cholesteatoma surgery for medially invasive to the otic capsule, petrous apex or skull base aggressive cholesteatoma were reviewed.

Interventions Clinical data of the 5 patients from 155 consecutive cholesteatoma patients from 01.06.2014 to 30.09.2018 were collected.

Main Outcomes Measures: The presenting symptoms, imaging, pre- and post-operative clinical course, and complications were reviewed.

Conclusions The medially-invasive cholesteatoma demonstrates an aggressive, endophytic growth pattern, invading into the otic capsule or through the perilabyrinthine air cells to the petrous apex. Surgical resection with canal wall down surgery remains the best treatment option for medially-invasive cholesteatoma.
