“…Otomastoiditis involves infection of the tympanic and mastoid cavities, typically caused by bacterial agents, the most common being Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae . Immunocompromised patients present risk factors for uncommon infectious agents, as well as being prone to more extensive, rapidly progressive impairment ( 7 ) , which can be detected on CT and MRI ( Figures 7 and 8 , respectively). On CT, uncomplicated otomastoiditis commonly presents as material with a hypointense signal, without bone erosion.…”

Dizziness is a prevalent symptom in the general population, accounting for a considerable share of physician office visits, and most causes are clinically treatable. It is also a common indication for neuroimaging studies, in order to identify a specific etiology and exclude surgical causes. Here, we illustrate the main peripheral and central causes of dizziness, discussing their possible differential diagnoses, as well as their most important image aspects.

“…Podendo haver história de secreção auricular purulenta recorrente ou crônica, com odor fétido, muitas vezes não apresenta resposta clínica à antibioticoterapia, esses sinais são comuns em colesteatoma adquirido. Com menos frequência, os pacientes apresentam sintomas de otalgia, vertigem ou comprometimento do paladar ou até mesmo fraqueza facial, estes sintomas geralmente indicam doença mais avançada BHUTTA et al, (2011).…”

“…Segundo Antunes et al, (2011), a inflamção denominada de Otite Média (OM) crônica ainda é uma doença prevalente em nosso meio. De acordo com a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), em 1998, sobre políticas de saúde em infecções crônicas de orelha média, foi acentuado como tópico de destaque que a OM é considerado um problema de saúde pública importante.…”

Segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde, a inflamação de Otite Média Crônica é prevalente em nosso meio. Podendo ser associado a populações menos favorecidas. Dentre seus acometimentos, pode levar a aspectos irreversíveis no homem, manifestando um problema crônico na membrana timpânica, de aspecto focal ou generalizado na orelha média, necessitando de procedimento cirúrgico para controle da doença. Diante disso, exames de imagem são fundamentais para diagnóstico e controle da enfermidade.

“…Otitis media is a wide spectrum disease involving the inflammation of the middle ear, which may or may not be infectious in nature. 1,2 This disease can have both an acute manifestation with a total resolution and a chronic manifestation with a permanent sequel. 3 In some cases, where patients do not experience a total resolution, the course of the disease can progress into otitis media with effusion or chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM).…”

Objective: Otitis media is a contagious inflammatory illness of the middle ear that might have a sudden onset and a complete resolution, or it can have a persistent presentation and long-term implications. Surgical treatment is available for all kinds of otitis media. Different types of operations include canal wall-up, canal wall-down, and their variations. The wall-up approach of the two canals with or without posterior tympanotomies, also known as tympanoplasty surgery, preserves the rear wall of the ear canal. Material and Methods: Hearing evaluation was conducted after canal wall-up tympanoplasty surgery at the outpatient clinic, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia over a period of two years (2018-2019). Results: Two hundred and thirty-seven patients underwent from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019. However, only 74 (31.2%) of them had complete medical records after surgery. Fifty-nine ears (79.7%) experienced a better hearing threshold, six ears (8.1%) did not improve, and nine ears (12.2%) deteriorated. The hearing threshold improvement was of a magnitude of 10.9 dB; before surgery, it was 56.6 dB, and after surgery, it became 45.6 dB. Conclusion: A 10.9-dB improvement in hearing threshold mean was observed among patients undergoing canal wall-up tympanoplasty, whereas the bone gap improvement between pre- and post-tympanoplasty was 6.9 dB.

Intratemporal complications of otitis media

Abstract: The incidence of intratemporal complications remains significant when compared to the rates seen in developed countries. Chronic cholesteatomatous otitis media is the most frequent etiology of intratemporal complications. Labyrinthine fistula is the most common intratemporal complication.
