3 year old child brought with severe pain in right ear with H/O sore throat. He will be having all except

A.. Hyperemic TM ( CART WHEEL SIGN)
B.. Bulging of TM
C… Tx is Tymoanoplasty
D… AB is preferred course.

A

C

Tymoanoplasty is done is safe CSOM where there is ossicular dislocation along with TM PERFORATION.

DECREASE DRAINAGE -

  1. Bilateral hypertrophy of adenoid
  2. ET dysfunction in cleft palate
  3. Unilateral nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Increase production
1. Allergic conditions

24
Q

State dx

25 year old male presented with

  1. DULL TM
  2. NON BULGING TM
  3. PROMINENT LATERAL PROCESS OF MALEUS
  4. B TYPE Of TYMPANOGRAM
A

SEROUS OTITIS MEDIA

Fluid is collected but not under pressure and non infected .

Retracted tm features like shortened malleus, prominent lateral process, come light distortion can be seen.

No infection means no hyperemia means dull TM

A

Antibiotics × 6 weeks

When ear is dry

Sx—-. Mryingoplasty. }
. }. Tymoanoplasty
Ossiculoplasty }

30

Type 1… Graft over malleus ( simple myringoplasty)

Type 2…. Graft over incus

Type 3….Graft over stapes head ( myringostapediopexy)

Type 4… Maintain phase difference

Type 5… Fenestration operation

33
Q

A

Medially inner ear

Superiorly brain

Posteriorly mastoid

Further posteriorly sigmoid sinus

35

It the the keratin flakes due to startified squamous keritinizing epithelium

Normally present only in EAC

Abnormal in middle ear or temporal bone - cholesteatoma

36
Q

Keratin accumulation in EAC

A

Keratosis obturans

37
Q

1° cholesteatoma is due to

2° cholesteatoma is due to
