What is the life expectancy of someone with Cholesteatoma?
Life expectancy of people with Cholesteatoma and recent progresses and researches in Cholesteatoma
You will die (eventually) without a cholesteotoma removal. The latest treatment involves laser removal via the front of the ear instead of the behind-the-ear procedure. Also, there is a new surgery in the works to help eustacian tube disfunction.

The life expectancy, I understand, is dependent upon diagnosis and treatment, otherwise, the cholesteatoma grows and literally destroys more and more and more within...until finally it takes your brain! It's a terribly scary disease!! The fact that SO MANY Otolyrngologists do not recognize the symptoms/charateristics of this disease is even more profound!!

Over time you risk an infection if the condition isn't treated

If you catch it, remove it and it doesn't eat away at your brain or cause you meningitis that you might die from....I think mortality is no different than the average person at the same age you are today. If you get infections don't let them linger long. Take good care of your teeth. They're indirectly connected to that sinus/ear area, and teeth affect your heart!

Cholesteatoma has to be removed. There is no holistic or home remedies that will make this go away. If you need help and support, look up my group on FB. Cholesteatoma the Hidden Disease

They're is no evidence that life expectancy should be any less than the general population

Not known, as earnest research into this condition is yet to start it seems. Probably survive a normal life time, but with reappearing distinctions pity as we go.

Same as anyone else..aslong as treated and diagnosed

It depends on the severity of the symptoms. Some people have lived for 50+ years with this disease, others not nearly as long. The symptoms and how aggressive the Cholesteatoma is the key to the answer to this question.
