Postauricular cutaneous mastoid fistula.

Postauricular cutaneous mastoid fistula is a rare condition. The cutaneous mastoid fistula is a very rare complication of chronic suppurative otitis media. The fistula tracts are typically difficult to manage because of the surrounding necrotic skin edges. We describe an unusual case of a postauricular cutaneous mastoid fistula and outline the surgical technique used for closure.
