Surgical, slit in ear drum with fluid drained by myringotomy tube
Hemotypanum MCC
Head trauma
Tympanic Membrane Retraction usually sequela of
Glue ear
Portion of tympanic membrane is weakened and retracts into middle ear due to negative pressure, auditory acuity can be compromised
Tympanic Membrane Retraction
Occurs most commonly in older patients with fragile vessels, profuse bleeding (sphenopalatine artery) requires hospitalization and surgical tx
Posterior Epistaxis
Nasal septum deviated laterally congenital or due to trauma
Deviated Septum
Occurs when blood supply to the septum is chronically compromised often caused by inhalation of vasoconstrictive substances
Septal Perforation
Sinusitis after URI Pathophysiology
Virus infects mucus membrane of the sinuses, causes swelling and narrowing, secondary increase in secretions gets trapped in swollen sinuses and becomes infected with bacteria
Slow growing most common skin cancer
Basal Cell Carcinoma
More aggressive, early metastasis, scaly crusting patch
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
