Q

Pt with foul smelling ear discharge and multiple tm perforation painless with pale granulation
On audiometry 50-55 sB hearing loss
Diagnosis and treatment

A

TB ear

ATT

46
Q

B/L hypertrophy of adenoid leads to obstruction of eustachian tube. Pt complains of painless bilateral fluctuating hearing loss
Diagnosis

A

Serous otitis media -collection of fluid in middle ear

Mcc adenoid hypertrophy

47
Q

Why is SOM painless and fluctuating hearing loss condition

A

Because fluid in middle ear is under no pressure and seasonal change of adenoid leads to fluctuating hearing loss

48
Q

Unilateral painless hearing loss in adults suspect

A

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma

49
Q

A
Dull 
Retracted TM 
Fluid level seen 
Air bubble present
Bluish TM
50
Q

Glue ear is seen in

It is due to

A

Glue ear is seen in Long standing cases of SOM

Due to precipitation of fluid inside TM

51
Q

Tuning fork test in SOM Will suggest

A

Rinne negative BC>AC
weber lateralised to affected ear
CHL

52
Q

Tympanometry and Stapedial Reflex in SOM

A

Type B tympanometry
ME pressure negative and compliance reduced
Stapedial reflex absent

53
Q

What is management of SOM

A

For 3 months medical mgt
Anti allergics
Decongestant
Steroid nasal spray no response

Surgical mgt

54
Q

What is grommet

What incision and in which area is preferred to place grommet on TM

A

Grommet is ventilation tube

Radial incision in anteroinferior quadrant is given to mimin ET

55
Q

Is there a special technique if som is glue ear ie thick fluid in middle ear which is difficult to remove by anteroinferior incision

A

Beer can technique
Another incision at anterosuperior quadrant is given
Air enters middle ear through superior incision and pushes fluid through lower opening

56
Q

During descent how to relieve decreased pressure in middle ear?

A

Opening of ET by actively chewing swallowing valsalva

57
Q

During descent what if eustachian tube is blockes and pressure diff is more than 90mm H2O

A

Increase ict leads to increase pressure in inner ear and ruptured secondary TM
In blood vessels pressure increase exudation of fluid in middle ear pain and TM ruptured hemotympanum

58
Q

CSOM is characterized by what condition of TM

A

Permanent abnormality of tympanic membrane

59
Q

Types of CSOM

A

Mucosal earlier k a safe CSOM

Squamosal unsafe CSOM

60
Q

How to define mucosal csom

A

Permanent central perforation of pars tensa more than 3months following asom, trauma

61
Q

Define squamosal CSOM

A

Any permanent abnormality on TM leading to migration ofsquamosal epithelium from eac into middle ear

62
Q

Why is mucosal csom aka tubotympanic csom

A

Infection from et leads to middle ear infection

63
Q

What is active and inactive csom

A

If discharging it is active

If non discharging it is inactive

64
Q

Causative organism of csom

A

Aerobic pseudomonas

Anaerobic Bacteroides

65
Q

Clinical features of CSOM mucosal

A

Ear discharge for more than 3months

Hearing loss 10-40 dB

A

Lenticular/Long process of incus

68
Q

Hearing loss upto 50dB in mucosal csom can be due to

How to treat

A

Ossicular necrosis disrupts ossicular pathway

Myringoplasty and ossciculoplasty ie TYMPANOPLASTY

69
