"Filiform polyposis or giant inflammatory polyp is an uncommon benign lesion that has principally been reported in patients with evidence of inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It appears to be a sequella of diffuse mucosal inflammation." [1]

Labyrinthitis ossificans, the pathologic ossification of the otic capsule associated with profound deafness and loss of vestibular function occurs frequently as a sequella of bacterial meningitis and subsequent purulent labyrinthitis. Experimentally, in Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis, it has been shown that a vigorous inflammatory response to teichoic acids in the bacterial cell wall contributes to cochlear damage and subsequent fibrosis and ossification. The hypothesis of this study is that a dilution of concentration of inflammatory mediators through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) irrigation will lead to a reduction in both inner ear pathology and permanent hearing loss.
