Abstract

Abstract: Metastases to the temporal bone are a recognized, if rare, cause of otological symptoms including sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Carcinoma of the prostate is a common cancer which frequently metastasizes to bone but is only rarely reported in the temporal bone. We report a case of sudden sensorineural hearing loss due to metastatic prostatic carcinoma in the temporal bone.
