“…These findings were confirmed by Pomeroy (1883), St. John Roosa (1891) and Politzer (1894). In advanced cases the new connective tissue had formed a thick, poorly vascularized fibrous coating, which gradually would fill up the entire middle ear.…”

Light-and electronmicroscopic studies of tissue from pithological middle ears revealed in sixteen cases changes typical of tympanosclerosis, i.e. collagenous connective tissue poor in cells, with hyaline degeneration and occasional calcium deposits. In one case new formed cartilaginous tissue was present. In several specimens we found granulation tissue, which is assumed to represent the incipient stage in the pathogenesis of tympanosclerosis. Electronmicroscopy has revealed that ths degenerative process involves not only connective tissue, but also the epidermis of the tympanum. It is stressed that the diagnosis of tympanosclerosis can be established only by means of microscopic study of the removed tisrue.

“…Myringitis is a rare inflammatory disorder characterized by de‐epithelialization and/or granulation on the lateral surface of the tympanic membrane and adjacent skin . This chronic disease shows relatively mild symptoms and signs; however, patients may experience problems such as otalgia, itching, ear fullness, frequent or persistent otorrhea, secondary bacterial or fungal infection, or perforation of the tympanic membrane if diagnosis and treatment are delayed . In some cases, symptoms of chronic myringitis may affect a patient's quality of life.…”
