Learning Objectives: Characteristics of pediatric cholesteatoma Our experience in using a bony obliteration tympanoplasty technique is discussed.

Mastoid obliteration in cholesteatoma surgery symposium, Dutch-Belgian Otology Group.

Pediatric cholesteatoma is a different identity to its adult counterpart. It is more frequently infectious, aggressive, more proliferative and associated with less favorable prognosis. An overview on characteristics and epidemiology of pediatric cholesteatoma is given. Preliminary results on >100 children operated in the Sophia Children's hospital from January 2014 using predominantly a canal wall up approach with bony obliteration of the mastoid and epitympanic space are shown.
