Pathogenesis ◼ Indirect force ◼ Increase in violence and firearms ◼ Associated with more dismal outcome ◼ More likely to involve intracranial lesions ◼ Barotrauma ◼ Rapid pressure fluctuations with the inner ear ◼ Air travel or SCUBA diving ◼ “the bends
Associated complications Is usually associated with Malleus Incus Stapes TM or inner ear trauma unless latrogenic Ossicular discontinuity Facial Nerve Injury Chorda tympani Nerve InJury Barotrauma to Stapes footplate Tympanic Round Base of stapes membrane window in oval window
Associated complications Is usually associated with TM or inner ear trauma unless Iatrogenic ◼ Ossicular discontinuity ◼ Facial Nerve Injury ◼ Chorda tympani Nerve Injury ◼ Barotrauma to Stapes footplate
Clinic presentations otalgia Bleeding Fullness Hearing loss, conductive HL or mixed HL Tinnitus Shape of perforation is split
Clinic presentations ◼ Otalgia ◼ Bleeding ◼ Fullness ◼ Hearing loss: conductive HL or mixed HL ◼ Tinnitus ◼ Shape of perforation is split
Physical examination Tympanic perforation Central perforation Marginal perforation Blood crust If skull base fracture is occurred with csf leakage, clear fluid is observed
Physical examination ◼ Tympanic perforation ◼ Central perforation ◼ Marginal perforation ◼ Blood crust ◼ If skull base fracture is occurred with CSF leakage, clear fluid is observed
Diagnosis The key point is to exclude whether it associates with trauma to ossicular chain or to inner ear The audiometry can provide useful informations CHL 40db suspicion for ossicular discontinuity Hearing test reveals sensorneurous HL, it means Inner ear InJur
Diagnosis ◼ The key point is to exclude whether it associates with trauma to ossicular chain or to inner ear. ◼ The audiometry can provide useful informations. ◼ CHL > 40db suspicion for ossicular discontinuity ◼ Hearing test reveals sensorneurous HL, it means inner ear injury
Managements Antibiotic to prevent infection Aseptic external auditory canal with alcohol Prevent super respiratory infection Prohibit nasal blow Prohibit ear drops Long crus of incus Posterior mallear fold It takes 3-4 w to heal the ear drum Pars tensa If 3 months later, perforation still anubis Umbo exists, myringoplasty is indicated Cone of light Right tympanic membrane (eardrum)
