9 year with poss cholestaetoma

[Guest guest]

We've got a 9yo girl who has been diagnosed since 2 with a severe

sensorineural hearing loss and is aided in both ears.She has had

numerous infections in her right ear for a number of years and now our

new ENT has suggested she probably has a cholestaetoma. We are trying

to find out as much as possible. Can anyone help us with the aftercare

of surgical removal of a cholestaetoma. How does this affect the

quality of life eg : swimming,showers etc. Also what effect on hearing

does it have and would it affect a cochlear implant in the future.

Lot's of questions I know but we want to be prepared before we talk to

the professor.

Thanks Jayney
