Middle Ear TM External Ear Flashcards
AOM csom ASOM TM and external ear ds
Boxer’s ear occurs due to
Immediate treatment
Hematoma of pinna
I&D
Perichondritis is caused by
It can be treated by
Infection by pseudomonas
T/T
Ciprofloxacin
Caftazidime
On pressing tragus pt complain of pain
Pain also increase on jaw and pinna movement
Diagnosis can be
Furuncle
Localised otitis externa
Edematous eac
Painful movement of jaw and pinna
Infection by pseudomonas
Diag
Diffuse otitis externa
Diffuse otitis externa is aka
Swimmer’s ear /tropical ear
Examination finding of malignant otitis externa
Granulation
Necrosis
7, 9,10,11 nerve involved
Malignant otitis externa Infection occurs in individual which are-
Diabetes
Steroids
Immunosuppressive drugs
Earliest nerve to be involved in malignant otitis externa
Facial nerve
Skull base osteomyelitis occurs following -
Malignant otitis externa spreads through fissures of santorini causes osteomyelitis of skull bone
Investigation for early diagnosis of malignant otitis externa
Bone scan
Technetium 99m scan increased uptake due to osteoclastic activity
Test for checking resolution of malignant otitis externa following treatment
Gallium)/indium scan (taken up by inflammatory cells)
ESR
Wet newspaper appearance along with pain itching is seen in
Otomycosis- aspergillus niger
Herpes zoster infection in ear leads to vesicles formation in the distribution of nerve
Which nerve is inv mc
Auriculotemporal nerve
Herpes zoster infection association with facial nerve palsy
Ramsay hunt syndrome
Freys syndrome occurs due to
Aberrant innervation of secretomotor fibres with auriculotemporal nerve due to injury to auriculotemporal nerve following parotidectomy
Syringing should be done with following instructions
Water at body temp
Posterosuperior direction
At moderate pressure
What will happen if water is not at body temp during syringing
Vertigo
What will happen if water is injected at high pressure
Perforation of TM
If foreign body is lodged - how to remove a
Battery
Live insects
Vegetative fb
Battery never put water inside ear
Live insects kill with oil and then syringe
Vegetative fb remove by ear hook as it can swell by syringing
Abnormal epithelial migration leading to collection of keratin in eac
Kerstosis obturans
A young pt with b/l chl widening of eac thereby facial nerve palsy
Keratosis obturans
TM is made of how many layers
3 layers
Epithelial
Fibrous
Endothelial
A pt suffering from traumatic injury which leads to tm perforation what will be the mgt
Keep ear dry
Keep ear free fron infection
TM heals by itself in 3 months
If not myringoplasty has to be done
Can TM heal completely following traumatic perforation
Only 2 layers heal
Fibrous layer will not heal
acute infection of TM with bloodstained discharge on rupture
Myringitis bullosa
Myringitis bullosa is caused by
S pneumoniae
Chronic myringitis occurs due to
Pseudomonas
Multiple granulation on tm
Retraction of TM occurs due to
Negative pressure in middle ear following eustachian tube obstruction
Which part gets retracted in acute conditions &chronic conditions
Pars tensa
Pars flaccida
Sade staging is for
Retraction of pars tensa
Sade stage 1
Pulling of handle of malleus
Cone of light becomes absent -dull TM
Sickling of malleolar folds
Prominence of lateral fold
Stage 3 sade
Collapse of middle ear space atelectasis
Tm touches promontory
Adhesive otitis media occurs in which stage
Sade stage 4
TM adherent to promontory
Acute otitis media is caused by
Streptococcus pneumoniae
First stage of aom
Pharyngitis leading to tubal blockade, me pressure negative and tm gets retracted
