Conclusions 1. Apart from skull base defects in the middle and/or posterior cranial fossa, frequency of bony dehiscence of the facial nerve and semicircular canal fistula is the same as in all population operated on ear. 2. Defects of the bony wall of the facial nerve and semicircular canal fistula are observed more frequently in granulomatous chronic otitis media than in cholesteatoma chronic otitis media. 3. We observe the same frequency of intracranial complication in population of patients with defects of the bony wall of the facial nerve canal and horizontal semicircular canal than in all groups with skull base defects.
