ABSTRACT

Keratosis obturans is characterized by dense keratin plug in the ear canal and its presenting symptoms are otalgia, and hearing loss. The treatment of keratosis obturans consists of mechanical removal of the epidermal plug, removal of any granulation, and periodic cleansing of any recurrence. Recently, the authors experienced a case of keratosis obturans treated by constant application of otic solution without surgery.
