Porencephalic Cyst of the Mastoid

Abstract
• A 10-year-old boy developed a porencephalic cyst of the mastoid in conjunction with otitic meningitis and cerebrospinal otorrhea. A defect of the tegmen tympani allowed extrusion of the cyst into the antrum and the mesotympanum. The otorrhea was controlled by closure of the defect. Our review of 251 cases in the literature showed no prior incidence of mastoid involvement by a porencephalic cyst. (Arch Otolaryngol 102:563-565, 1976)
