Q

Second pharyngeal arch.

20
Q

tensor tympani muscle is innervated by

A

the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V),

21
Q

the stapedius muscle is innervated by the

A

facial nerve (cranial nerve VII).

22
Q

tympanic membrane originates from the?

A

First Pharyngeal Membrain

23
Q

the tensor tympani (associated with the malleus) and the stapedius (associated with stapes) Form in which week?

A

9th week from first- and second-pharyngeal arch mesoderm,

24
Q

external ear consists of ?

A
  • external layer of the tympanic membrane
  • external auditory meatus
  • the auricle (pinna).
25
Q

The precursor of the external auditory meatus develops by? What Week?

A

An invagination of the First Pharangeal Cleft during the 6th week

26
Q

The Meatel plug fills the External Auditory Meatus until what week>

A

week 26

27
Q

When does the Meatus acheave its final length

A

9-10 years of age.

28
Q

Auricle develops from what?

A

six auricular hillocks

29
Q

auricular hillocks arise during what week Where?

A
  • Week 5
  • First and Second Pharyngeal arches.
30
Q

CHARGE syndrome.

A
  • Coloboma of the eye,
  • Heart defects,
  • Atresia of the choanae,
  • Retarded growth and development,
  • Genital and urinary anomalies, and
  • Ear anomalies and hearing loss

CH7 Gene issue

  • Inner ear defects:
    • labyrinthine aplasia,
    • reduction in the number of cochlear turns (less than 2.5 turns),
    • semicircular canal defects.
    • Abnormal development of the middle ear
  • External ear abnormalities one of the cardinal features of the syndrome
31
Q

Defects of the external ear result from what?

A

abnormal growth and morphogenesis of one or more of the auricular hillocks derived from the first and second pharyngeal arches.

32
Q

Defects of the middle ear result from?

A

Results from abnormal formation or ossification of the middle ear ossicles, (themmalleus, incus, and stapes) that are derived from neural crest cells populating the first and second pharyngeal arches.

Suppressed growth of these neural crest cells results in ossicle hypoplasia or aplasia and fixation.

These defects occur in association with skeletal dysplasias such as achondroplasia (FGFR3 mutation) and osteogenesis imperfecta (multiple COLLAGEN mutations), or in various syndromes such as BOR, Treacher Collins, and OAVS.

33
Q

Large (enlarged) vestibular aqueduct (LVA or EVA)

A

inner ear dysplasia characterized by enlargement of the bony canal that contains the endolymphatic duct associated with Pendred syndrome gene encodes PENDRIN, a chlorideiodide transporter protein

34
Q

Genetic defects in the development and function of hair cells can result in what type of hearing defect.

A

Inner Ear.

35
Q

Usher syndrome type 1,

A
  • Usher - singer
  • sensorineural hearing loss
  • retinitis pigmentosa- back wall of eye is damaged.
  • autosomal recessive disorder

You can’t hear or see him sing!!

36
Q

Jervell and LangeNielsen syndrome

A

sensorineural hearing loss and cardiac arrhythmia (long QT syndrome Accounts for 20-30% nonsyndromic deafness

37
Q

MTRNR1 gene issues

A

late onset hearing loss

may be precipitated suddenly by treatment with aminoglycoside antibiotics due to increased sensitivity.

38
Q

microtia (small auricle)

or

anotia

A

Suppresed Growth of All Hillocks.

39
Q

macrotia

A

(Large Auricle)

Overgrowth of the hillocks

40
Q

A

Accessory Hillocks present

41

preauricular pits

A

Small indentations in front of ear due to accessory Hillocks

42
Q

Conductive hearing loss

A

is the result of malformations in the

  • external and or
  • middle ear
43
Q

Sensorineural hearing loss

A

due to genetic causes (Syndromic)

isolated defect (nonsyndromic)​

can arise from defects in the inner ear, vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII), or the auditory regions of the brain.

44
Q

nonsyndromic hearing loss

A

commonly attributed to environmental factors.

Environmental factors include in utero viral infections (e.g., cytomegalovirus and rubella) and neonatal exposure to aminoglycoside antibiotics (e.g., gentamycin and tobramycin)

45
Q

syndromic hearing loss

A

genetic causes

associated with other anomalies about 1/2 of the cases
