Global InformationKeratosis obturans information
Keratosis obturans is a relatively uncommon ear disease, where a dense plug of keratin, formed by abnormal accumulation of desquamated skin in sheet like layers (lamellae), forms in the bony (deeper) part of the external auditory canal.[1] It is clinically diagnosed when removal of the debris shows silvery white peripheral matrix and causes excruciating pain.[2][3]
