Bulla osteotomy may be recommended in complicated cases
Feline aural inflammatory polyps originate from the tympanic bulla and less frequently from the auditory tube, representing the most common benign tumor of the feline ear. Clinical signs may be compatible with otitis externa, media, and/or internal, with rare occurrences involving meningoencephalitis or abscessation of periauricular tissue. Traction and avulsion is an effective treatment procedure with a relatively low recurrence rate, especially when systemic glucocorticoids are given after polyp removal. Secondary infections should be addressed with topical and systemic antimicrobials and ear lavage. Bulla osteotomy may be recommended in complicated cases.
