It typically appears following repeated soft tissue injury, and is commonly caused by chronic suppurative otitis media and repeated surgical treatments. Management is challenging, with few reported successful surgical techniques, which often have limited applicability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Case report<\/jats:title>This paper presents the case of a 58-year-old male with a persistent right-sided post-auricular cutaneous mastoid fistula resulting from two previous mastoidectomies. Although the patient underwent two simple primary closures, the fistula recurred. This was successfully treated with a new technique utilising a sternocleidomastoid rotational and cervical-fascial advancement flap, which was completely healed at the one-year follow up without a recurrence of the fistula.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>This novel technique provided definitive obliteration of a persistent cutaneous mastoid fistula. Utilising a double-layered flap and a facelift incision results in excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215120001498","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,10]],"date-time":"2020-08-10T07:23:08Z","timestamp":1597044188000},"page":"936-938","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Use of a sternocleidomastoid rotational and cervical-fascial advancement flap for closure of a persistent mastoid cutaneous fistula"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"134","author":[{"given":"Y","family":"Tsitsiou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Mantelakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Joshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215119001063"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref12","first-page":"133","article-title":"Treatment of postauricular mastoid cutaneous fistula by superficial temporalis fascia transposition flap","volume":"31","author":"Lee","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Korean Soc Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/014556131209101006"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/0022215042703633"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref14","first-page":"567","article-title":"Post-operative mastoid fistula: closure by use of temporal muscle transplant","volume":"26","author":"Asherson","year":"1933","journal-title":"Proc R Soc Med"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otpol.2014.02.001"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5606\/kbbihtisas.2013.51447"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-015-3840-1"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref3","first-page":"E33","article-title":"A large postauricular cutaneous mastoid fistula caused by a cholesteatoma","volume":"89","author":"Wadhera","year":"2010","journal-title":"Ear Nose Throat J"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.13005\/bpj\/785"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/019459988008800121"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00512051"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref8","first-page":"E1","article-title":"Bilateral atticoantral chronic suppurative otitis media presenting as bilateral cutaneous mastoid fistulas","volume":"88","author":"Bhat","year":"2009","journal-title":"Ear Nose Throat J"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MAO.0b013e3181e3d33c"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599812451426a296"},{"key":"S0022215120001498_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"147","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.2009.01533.x","article-title":"Mastoid subperiosteal abscess as a first sign of unnoticed cholesteatoma in children","volume":"99","author":"Migirov","year":"2010","journal-title":"Acta Paediatr"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Laryngology & Otology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0022215120001498","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,11]],"date-time":"2024-08-11T14:59:52Z","timestamp":1723388392000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0022215120001498\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,10]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,10]]}},"alternative-id":["S0022215120001498"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0022215120001498","relation":{},"ISSN":["0022-2151","1748-5460"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0022-2151"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1748-5460"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,10]]}}}
