Abstract

A rare case of Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of the tympanomastoid region with paralysis of VIth and VIIth cranial nerve and development of ipsilateral loss of vision is reported. The case was first clinically diagnosed as a complicated case of C.S.O.M. with petrositis and facial palsy and was operated upon. Histopathological examination in the postoperative period proved it to be a case of Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma.
