- Abstract
Osteoradionecrosis of the temporal bone after external-beam radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is not uncommon following a long posttreatment interval. We describe the case of a man who had experienced this complication 13 years after he had undergone such radiotherapy. His condition resolved after removal of dead bone from the external auditory canal, followed by antibiotic therapy and periodic aural toileting.
