Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Does anyone have any experience with a baby who has a ctoma. My 18 mos old dtr was diagnosed with one today and is being referred to an ear specialist for possible surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 wow, I am sorry you all are dealing with this at such a young age. I wonder if it is congenital or acquired as I haven't heard of a congenital being diagnosed that early. I am so glad you have a doctor who is on the ball. Has your daughter had a lot of ear infections? I would think that dealing with the surgery at that age wouldn't be too terrible for your daughter, but harder on you! (that's how I felt when my then 5 year old had surgery...he did great, I was sort of a wreck). She'll be able to rest the few days after and be back to her old self in no time. I hope things go well. joycelyn On Nov 27, 2007 7:51 AM, strangebird95 <strangebird95@...> wrote: > > > > > Does anyone have any experience with a baby who has a ctoma.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Thank you. From what the ear specialist had said, it is very rare to have found it at her age. He praised our pediatricians for finding it so soon. She had a lot of ear infections last winter, but once it got warm, she didn't have any more until recently. I think maybe she was born with it or all the ear infections last winter could have caused it from what I read thus far online. I hope the surgery will be relatively simple since it appears to be small, but they may do a CT scan to make sure it is not larger than they see. --- Joycelyn Watterson-Woods <JWWoods@...> wrote: > wow, I am sorry you all are dealing with this at > such a young age.
