MRI-DWI detection of residual cholesteatoma: moving toward an optimum follow-up scheme
A novel radiologic FU scheme for detecting residual disease is suggested for stable ears after cholesteatoma surgery: standard MRI-DWI approximately 3 and 5 yrs after primary surgery, as well as MRI-DWI after approximately 9 yrs for patients with specific risk factors (i.e., patients < 12 yrs or patients undergoing canal wall up surgery without obliteration).
