    Epidemiology of Congenital Cholesteatoma: Surveys of the Last 17 Years in Japan

    by Yoshinori Kadowaki, Shinsuke Ide, Takeshi Nakamura, Takumi Okuda, Hideto Shigemi, Takashi Hirano, Kuniyuki Takahashi, Masashi Suzuki

    (1) Background: The incidence of congenital cholesteatoma (CC) has rarely been discussed, particularly from a demographic viewpoint. Therefore, we conducted an epidemiological study of CC using local medical characteristics. (2) Methods: The participants were 100 patients (101 ears) who underwent initial surgical treatment at university hospitals in two rural prefectures between 2006 and 2022. A total of 68% of the patients were males and 32% were females, with a median age of 5 years. We reviewed the medical records for the date of birth, date of surgery, stage of disease, and first symptoms of the disease. (3) Results: The total incidence of CC was calculated to be 26.44 per 100,000 births and tended to increase. No significant difference was found between the incidences in the two prefectures. The number of surgeries performed was higher in the second half of the study period. No difference in the stage of progress was observed based on age. (4) Conclusions: The incidence of CC was estimated to be 26.44 per 100,000 newborn births. The number of patients with CC tended to increase; however, this can be attributed to an increase in the detection rate rather than the incidence.

    Epidemiology of Congenital Cholesteatoma

    by Yoshinori Kadowaki, Shinsuke Ide, Takeshi Nakamura, Takumi Okuda, Hideto Shigemi, Takashi Hirano, Kuniyuki Takahashi, Masashi Suzuki

    Background The incidence of congenital cholesteatoma (CC) has rarely been discussed, particularly from the demographic viewpoint. Therefore, we conducted an epidemiological study of CC using local medical characteristics. Materials and methods The participants were 100 patients (101 ears) who underwent initial surgical treatment at university hospitals in two rural prefectures between 2006 and 2022. Sixty-eight percent of the patients were males and 32% were females, with a median age of 5 years. We reviewed the medical records for the date of birth, date of surgery, stage of disease, and first symptom of the disease. Result The total incidence of CC was calculated to be 26.44 per 100,000 births and tended to increase. No significant difference was found between the incidences in the two prefectures. The number of surgeries performed was higher in the second half of the study period. No difference in the stage of progress was observed based on age. Conclusion The incidence of CC was estimated to be 26.44 per 100,000 new-born births. The number of patients with CC has tended to increase; however, this can be attributed to an increase in the detection rate rather than the incidence.
