Bullous myringitis is manifested by moderately severe otalgia associated with vesicles on the tympanic membrane and medial external auditory canal wall. This disease occurs mainly in young adults, most commonly in winter, and is usually preceded or accompanied by an upper respiratory infection. A reversible sensorineural loss developed in three of 22 patients. Complement fixation antibody studies performed on ten patients failed to implicate Mycoplasma pneumoniae, influenza virus types A or B, or adenovirus as the causal agent.

ABSTRACT The external auditory canal (EAC) is formed by lateral cartilaginous and medial bony part. The stenosis of EAC is narrowing of the width of the EAC, i.e. either caused by congenital or acquired causes. Myringosclerosis is a condition caused by calcification of tissues in the tympanic membrane and ossification is a special form of fibrosis due to the long-term, irreversible continued inflammation in the middle ear cleft. We are presenting rare case of idiopathic tympanic membrane ossification with generalized stenosis of EAC in 29-year-old patient. How to cite this article Verma H, Dass A, Singhal SK, Gupta N.

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-US">The Granular Myringitis (GM) is not uncommon though in medical literature it has been reported among the rarer conditions. The aim of this article is to review the clinical features and management of Granular Myringitis (GM). GM is characterized by granulation tissue on the outer surface of the Tympanic Membrane (TM) with or without the involvement of deep bony External Auditory Canal (EAC). The granulations are either localized or diffuse. The granulations over tympanic membrane continue to grow slowly for years. The ensuing fibrosis in patients with granulations of deep bony meatal wall can result into an atresia of the deep bony EAC. The presenting symptom of GM is an ear discharge which may be foul-smelling. However many patients have a sensation of fullness, irritation, mild pain or itching in the ear. If perforation occurs the underlay perichondrium or temporalis fascia grafting is done. In some of the refractory cases granulations are removed and the raw area is covered with skin. Many patients respond well to meticulous microscopic aural toilet and topical antibiotic and steroid ear drops. If patients do not respond then application of topical caustic agents are employed.</span></p>

Bilateral congenital mesotympanic cholesteatoma is a very rare disease. It can present differently from ordinary congenital cholesteatoma. We report a case of bilateral congenital cholesteatoma diagnosed at age of 22 years old. She presented with bilateral intermittent ear discharge since 10 years old that worsening two weeks prior to her presentation to our clinic and associated with bilateral reduced hearing. Clinically there was intact tympanic membrane with retraction of the mesotympanic area with present of mass medial to tympanic membrane. CT scan imaging showed there was soft tissue in the bilateral middle ear cavity with intact scutum and ossicles. Patient undergone canal wall down procedure and the diagnosis of congenital mesotympanic cholesteatoma was confirmed with present of cholesteatoma sac at the posterosuperior part, as opposed to anterosuperior quadrant, where the common site for congenital cholesteatoma.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(2) 2018 p.307-310
