Abstract
Cranial fasciitis is a fibroblastic lesion found in the cranium of children three weeks to six years of age. It most commonly manifests as a solitary, rapid growing mass on the scalp with frequent involvement of underlying bone and occasional intracranial expansion. Patients with cranial fasciitis may present with a wide range of associated symptoms. Otologic symptoms such as otalgia, otorrhea, hearing loss and middle ear effusion are not frequently encountered. We present a case of cranial fasciitis with intracranial involvement and associated otologic symptoms in a four year old boy with subsequent follow up 14 years later.
