Abstract
Spontaneous salivary fistulas are rare. Extremely rare are spontaneous salivary fistulas of the external auditory canal. We report a case of otorrhoea caused by such a fistula in connection with defects of the cartilagenous and the osseous external auditory canal (Fissures of Santorini, foramen of Huschke) and its successful surgical treatment.
