Abstract

Damage to the middle ear (ME) caused by penetrating welding sparks can lead to a variety of adverse outcomes. An exhaustive review of the literature is lacking, particularly with regard to clinical presentation, diagnostic-therapeutic work-up, and outcomes. Here we describe the clinical details of an injury caused by the largest welding foreign body ever reported in the ME. In addition, we present a comprehensive review of the relevant literature.
