  • A Post-Tympanoplasty Evaluation of the Factors Affecting Development of Myringosclerosis in the Graft: a Clinical Study
    Int Adv Otol 2014; 10(2): 102-6 • DOI: 10.5152/iao.2014.40 Original Article A Post-Tympanoplasty Evaluation of the Factors Affecting Development of Myringosclerosis in the Graft: A Clinical Study Can Özbay, Rıza Dündar, Erkan Kulduk, Kemal Fatih Soy, Mehmet Aslan, Hüseyin Katılmış Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Şifa University Faculty of Medicine, İzmir, Turkey (CÖ) Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Mardin State Hospital, Mardin, Turkey (RD, EK, KFS, MA) Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Katip Çelebi University Atatürk Training and Research Hospital, İzmir, Turkey (HK) OBJECTIVE: Myringosclerosis (MS) is a pathological condition characterized by hyaline degeneration and calcification of the collagenous structure of the fibrotic layer of the tympanic membrane, which may develop after trauma, infection, or inflammation as myringotomy, insertion of a ventila- tion tube, or myringoplasty. The aim of our study was to both reveal and evaluate the impact of the factors that might be effective on the post-tym- panoplasty development of myringosclerosis in the graft. MATERIALS and METHODS: In line with this objective, a total of 108 patients (44 males and 64 females) aged between 11 and 66 years (mean age, 29.5 years) who had undergone type 1 tympanoplasty (TP) with an intact canal wall technique and type 2 TP, followed up for an average of 38.8 months, were evaluated. In the presence of myringosclerosis, in consideration of the tympanic membrane (TM) quadrants involved, the influential factors were analyzed in our study, together with the development of myringosclerosis, including preoperative factors, such as the presence of myringosclerosis in the residual and also contralateral tympanic membrane, extent and location of the perforation, and perioperative factors, such as tympanosclerosis in the middle ear and mastoid cavity, cholesteatoma, granulation tissue, and type of the operation performed.

  • Direct Sagittal CT in the Evaluation of Temporal Bone Disease
    371 Direct Sagittal CT in the Evaluation of Temporal Bone Disease 1 Mahmood F. Mafee The human temporal bone is an extremely complex structure. Direct axial and coronal Arvind Kumar2 CT sections are quite satisfactory for imaging the anatomy of the temporal bone; Christina N. Tahmoressi1 however, many relationships of the normal and pathologic anatomic detail of the Barry C. Levin2 temporal bone are better seen with direct sagittal CT sections. The sagittal projection Charles F. James1 is of interest to surgeons, as it has the advantage of following the plane of surgical approach. This article describes the advantages of using direct sagittal sections for Robert Kriz 1 1 studying various diseases of the temporal bone. The CT sections were obtained with Vlastimil Capek the aid of a new headholder added to our GE CT 9800 scanner. The direct sagittal projection was found to be extremely useful for evaluating diseases involving the vertical segment of the facial nerve canal, vestibular aqueduct, tegmen tympani, sigmoid sinus plate, sinodural angle, carotid canal, jugular fossa, external auditory canal, middle ear cavity, infra- and supra labyrinthine air cells, and temporo­ mandibular joint. CT has contributed greatly to an understanding of the complex anatomy and spatial relationship of the minute structures of the hearing and balance organs, which are packed into a small pyramid-shaped petrous temporal bone [1 , 2]. In the past 6 years, high-resolution CT scanning has been rapidly replacing standard tomography and has proved to be the diagnostic imaging method of choice for studying the normal and pathologic details of the temporal bone [3-14].

  • Tympanic Membrane Perforations: the Safe Versus the Unsafe

Some perforations can be associated with significant Figure 1: Endoscopic view of right ear with an anterior Figure 2: Endoscopic view of a right ear with twin traumatic disease, such as cholesteatoma which may cause safe perforation – notice the dry middle ear and posterior perforations – the ear is dry with normal middle ear mucosa. major morbidity. myringosclerosis DEFINITIONS AND NATURAL HISTORY Tympanic membrane perforations are holes in the ear drum that most commonly occur as a consequence of either ear infections, chronic eustachian tube dysfunction or trauma to the ear. Acute middle ear infection (acute otitis media) is a common condition occurring at least once in 80% of children. Most acute otitis media resolves with spontaneous discharge of infected secretions through the eustachian tube into the nasopharynx. Occasionally when the infections are frequent, there is extensive scarring (tympanosclerosis and myringosclerosis) of the ear drum and middle ear . This scarring compromises blood supply to the healing ear drum and occasionally stops the hole from healing. (Figure 1) Traumatically induced holes occur from a rapid compression of the air column in the external ear canal, most commonly from a blow to the Figure 3: Endoscopic view of a right ear with an attic wax – the Figure 4: Endoscopic view of a left tympanic membrane – there white cholesteatoma can be seen behind the ear drum.

  • Instruction Sheet: Otitis Externa
    University of North Carolina Wilmington Abrons Student Health Center INSTRUCTION SHEET: OTITIS EXTERNA The Student Health Provider has diagnosed otitis externa, also known as external ear infection, or swimmer's ear. Otitis externa is a bacterial/fungal infection in the ear canal (the ear canal goes from the outside opening of the ear to the eardrum). Water in the ear, from swimming or bathing, makes the ear canal prone to infection. Hot and humid weather also predisposes to infection. Symptoms of otitis externa include: ear pain, fullness or itching in the ear, ear drainage, and temporary loss of hearing. These symptoms are similar to those caused by otitis media (middle ear infection). To differentiate between external ear infection and middle ear infection, the provider looks in the ear with an instrument called an otoscope. It is important to distinguish between the two infections, as they are treated differently: External otitis is treated with drops in the ear canal, while middle ear infection is sometimes treated with an antibiotic by mouth. MEASURES YOU SHOULD TAKE TO HELP TREAT EXTERNAL EAR INFECTION: 1. Use the ear drops regularly, as directed on the prescription. 2. The key to treatment is getting the drops down into the canal and keeping the medicine there. To accomplish this: Lie on your side, with the unaffected ear down. Put three to four drops in the infected ear canal, then gently pull the outer ear back and forth several times, working the medicine deeper into the ear canal. Remain still, good-ear-side-down for about 15 minutes.

  • Hearing Loss, Vertigo and Tinnitus
    HEARING LOSS, VERTIGO AND TINNITUS Jonathan Lara, DO April 29, 2012 Hearing Loss Facts S Men are more likely to experience hearing loss than women. S Approximately 17 percent (36 million) of American adults report some degree of hearing loss. S About 2 to 3 out of every 1,000 children in the United States are born deaf or hard-of-hearing. S Nine out of every 10 children who are born deaf are born to parents who can hear. Hearing Loss Facts S The NIDCD estimates that approximately 15 percent (26 million) of Americans between the ages of 20 and 69 have high frequency hearing loss due to exposure to loud sounds or noise at work or in leisure activities. S Only 1 out of 5 people who could benefit from a hearing aid actually wears one. S Three out of 4 children experience ear infection (otitis media) by the time they are 3 years old. Hearing Loss Facts S There is a strong relationship between age and reported hearing loss: 18 percent of American adults 45-64 years old, 30 percent of adults 65-74 years old, and 47 percent of adults 75 years old or older have a hearing impairment. S Roughly 25 million Americans have experienced tinnitus. S Approximately 4,000 new cases of sudden deafness occur each year in the United States. Hearing Loss Facts S Approximately 615,000 individuals have been diagnosed with Ménière's disease in the United States. Another 45,500 are newly diagnosed each year. S One out of every 100,000 individuals per year develops an acoustic neurinoma (vestibular schwannoma).
