The bulldog also had unilateral facial paralysis and sensory deficits of the trigeminal nerve on the ipsilateral side. Computed tomography and MRI scans suggested cholesteatoma in the bulldog, but showed only slight enlargement of the bulla in the pug. Histopathologic examination of samples yielded cholesteatoma in both cases. The authors suspect that development of the cholesteatomas was linked to the TECA\/LBO surgery in both cases. Cholesteatomas may occur more frequently than currently thought. Even if only slight changes of the bulla wall are detected on CT, early-stage cholesteatoma should be considered. The narrow anatomic conditions in brachycephalic dogs possibly predispose such breeds to develop cholesteatoma after middle ear surgery because complete removal of all inflammatory and epithelial tissue can be more difficult than in other breeds. To the authors\u2019 knowledge, this is the first report of an aural cholesteatoma causing sensory deficits of the trigeminal nerve.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-5760","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,20]],"date-time":"2012-05-20T11:24:03Z","timestamp":1337513043000},"page":"261-268","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Cholesteatoma After Lateral Bulla Osteotomy in Two Brachycephalic Dogs"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Riccarda Martina","family":"Schuenemann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gerhard","family":"Oechtering","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"bib1","series-title":"Otolaryngol Clin North Am","first-page":"1143","article-title":"The pathophysiology of cholesteatoma","volume":"39","author":"Semaan","year":"2006","unstructured":"Semaan\n              MT\n            , MegerianCA.
