Abstract

Acquired external auditory canal stenosis is a challenging condition to treat and can affect any age group. Post inflammatory lateral canal atresia is uncommon. This article focuses on a 2 year old child who presented with hearing loss with history of otitis externa. The lateral part of Auditory Canal was completely stenosed. He underwent debrider assisted endoscopic ear surgery and stenting, and a patent External Auditory Canal with normal hearing was achieved.
