Dizziness after mastoid surgery-various aspects-
Cholesteatoma is optimally addressed through surgery if you are well enough to undergo a general anaesthetic. A growing cholesteatoma sac has the potential to lead to rare yet severe complications, such as meningitis, a brain abscess, complete hearing loss, lasting dizziness, or facial weakness.
It is typical to experience dizziness for a few hours following the surgery. On rare occasions, the dizziness may persist for several months.
Following mastoid surgery, you might notice a change in your sense of taste on the same side where the operation was performed. Permanent damage is unusual.
Your hearing may remain unchanged or improve following the procedure. It also has the possibility of deteriorating.
In rare instances, the facial muscles could be permanently affected after the procedure. Occasionally, the weakness is temporary and may recover.
Tinnitus may arise post-surgery.
You might experience an allergic reaction to the medication contained in the ear dressings.
