- surfers/kayakers ear

Tx: nothing (surgical intervention if traps wax)

72
Q

osteomas - findings and tx

A

benign tumor that will continue growing – soft and non-painful on palpation w/ probe (single lesion, reddish)

Tx: refer to ENT for removal – can cause problems if touches TM or occludes canal impeding on epithelial migration

73
Q

A

findings: calcified mass (scar plaque), bright white w/ distinct edges, surrounded by normal TM on all borders, TM mobility intact
tx: nothing
comp: rule out cholesteatoma

74
Q

comp: refer to ENT if:
- not healing in 2 weeks
- signs of infection
- vertiginous after injury (spinning sensation)

75
Q

TM retractions - findings, tx, potential complications

A

cause: Eustachian tube dysfunction and middle ear gases resorb
findings: TM retracts (visualize bony landmarks)
tx: ENT referral for possibly PE tubes to releve pressure

comp:
- pressure on ossicles (ear bones) and lead to bony erosion and conductive hearing loss
- hearing worsens suddenly (loss of connection b/t incus and stapes)
- can result in cholesteatoma

76
Q

cholesteatoma - findings, tx, potential complications

A

cause: trapped epithelium cannot properly migrate out of ear canal (inflammation present, drainage can occur from infected debris)
- primary and secondary (see retractions)
- congenital (no retractions)
- hearing loss slight to moderate
- located in antero-superior quad (light area where should be darkest)

findings: yellowish or whitish mass behind TM w/ or w/o retractions (does not follow rules for tympanosclerosis)
tx: immediate referral to ENT

comp:

  • pressure and enzymes cause erosion of bones involved in hearing
  • can grow into ear canal, facial nerve (paralysis), brain (life-threatening)
77
Q

TM perforations - documentation

A

important to document quadrant and percentage perforated so tracking of healing is possible
- refer to ENT if not healed in 2 weeks (or making progress)

78
Q

mastoiditis - clinical presentation

A

complication of OM - inflammation and destruction of mastoid air cells result in infection of bone (osteitis) and mastoid abscess formation
