Hi, remember me? I'm the new immigrant that's

been waiting to get my medical card, and I finally did

by the way, I have an appointment to see Dr. Ishak in

Sudbury, Ontario the 4th of Feb. My brother-in law

lives in London, we were kind of hoping I'd be sent

there, but Sudbury is far enough, 5 hour drive. I've

also learned Dr. Ishak is a plastic surgeon, and I've

heard nothing but good about him, so I feel a bit

better.

I read the CT report in my Dr. office the other

day, we've known about this for over a year, the CT

was done way back in July, so it's already more than 6

months old, the two words that stuck out in the report

were " extensive " and " attic " can anyone please tell me

about " attic " ? Extensive pretty well explains itself.

This appointment is for a consult, hearing test

etc... I'll keep you all posted as to when the surgery

will be, my Doctor did tell me I would most likely

have the mastoid removed, and most of the back of my

ear. Has anyone else had this happen?

Today is the 23rd, so I'm hoping it goes well with

Dr. Sukerman.

Hi Jan

I meant to reply tot his a few days ago but didnt have time. I

believe " sattic " refers to the upuer area of the canal? My daughter

Alyssa has this as well, and her doctor kind of drew it out for us

after her last surgery. I believe it's when the c-toma grows upwards

towards the brain instead of (or in addition to) inward towards the

middle ear. If you (or anyone else) find out any more info on " attic "

c-toma, I would appreciate you forwarding it to me.

Thanks.

The middle ear, or area behind the ear drum that contains the ossicles (small

bones x 3) is called the tympanum. the " attic " is also called the

epitympanum and is the upper portion of this area.
