Abstract

Abstract: Spontaneous salivary otorrhoea is an extremely rare clinical entity. Most of the times, salivary otorrhoea results from various forms of trauma. It has also been attributed to the patent foramen of Huschke, and fissures of Santorini. Here, we present a rare case of an 8 year old child presenting with salivary discharge from both the ears. The diagnosis was established on the basis of biochemical and radiological investigations. The patient was managed by surgical exploration and ligation of the fistulous tract.
