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>

We report a patient who developed left ear pain, dry cough, and fever. The external auditory canal was tender, swollen, erythematous and full of debris. Later the patient developed widespread tender and red skin nodules and pustules that subsequently coalesced to form plaques. Identical lesions developed also in the external auditory canal and the tympanic membrane of the affected ear. Skin biopsy showed dermal neutrophilia, compatible with the diagnosis of Sweet’s syndrome. Rapid improvement was achieved with prednisone after the failure of antibiotics.

Sixth Decade

Hemangiomas of the external auditory canal, involving the posterior bony canal and the adjacent tympanic membrane, although rare, are considered a specific disease entity of the human external auditory canal. Hemangiomas of the tympanic membrane and/or external auditory canal are rare entities; there are 16 previous case reports in the literature. It is a benign vascular tumor. It generally occurs in males in the sixth decade of life. Total surgical excision with or without tympanic membrane grafting appears to be effective in the removal of this benign neoplasm. The authors present a case and a review of the literature discussing diagnostic and surgical approaches.

Lightning Injury

A number of cases of otologic injuries by lightning strikes have been described in the otolaryngological literature. The mechanism of these injuries remains uncertain. We report 3 cases of lightning injury that presented to us. Analysis of these cases suggests that the mechanism of injury is direct conduction of electricity from the scalp to the soft tissues of the external auditory canal to the tympanic membrane. The conduits of the electrical surge are the subcutaneous blood vessels, smaller vessels being damaged more than larger vessels. Since the tympanic membrane central vessels are smaller than the canal vessels, the central area of the tympanic membrane would be most vulnerable, and this is seen clinically. A review of the literature supports this proposed mechanism of injury.

Introduction: The external auditory canal (EAC) packing is widely used in otosurgery and is considered to promote hemostasis and to support tympanic membrane grafts. However, few studies have investigated the effects of packing removal time on healing. Objective: We investigated the effect of EAC packing duration on healing after endoscopic cartilage myringoplasty in patients with chronic tympanic membrane perforations (TMPs). Materials and Methods: Patients with chronic TMPs who underwent endoscopic “push-through” cartilage myringoplasty were divided into early and late groups based on the length of time before EAC packing was removed. The graft success rate, eardrum appearance, and hearing gain were assessed 3 months after surgery. Results: The study included 137 patients. Three months after surgery, the graft success rate was 83.5% (66/79) in the early group and 94.8% (55/58) in the late group ( P = .042). The graft was displaced in 8 (10.1%) patients in the early group and in 1 (1.7%) patient in the late group ( P = .050). No epithelialization was found on the surface of the grafts in the early group, whereas epithelialization was nearly complete 4 weeks after surgery in the late group. Conclusions: Delaying removal of the EAC packing after endoscopic cartilage myringoplasty may promote tympanic membrane better healing and cartilage graft epithelialization and improve the appearance of the eardrum.

PURPOSE: Aging causes changes in the external ear as a collapse of the external auditory canal and tympanic membrane senile. Knowing them is appropriate for the diagnosis of hearing loss and selection of hearing aids. For this reason, the study aimed to verify the influence of the anatomical changes of the external ear resonance in the auditory canal in the elderly. METHODS: The sample consisted of objective measures of the external ear of elderly with collapse (group A), senile tympanic membrane (group B) and without changing the external auditory canal or tympanic membrane (group C) and adults without changing the external ear (group D). In the retrospective/clinical study were performed comparisons of measures of individuals with and without alteration of the external ear through the gain and response external ear resonant frequency and the primary peak to the right ear. RESULTS: In groups A, B and C was no statistically significant difference between Real Ear Unaided Response (REUR) and Real Ear Unaided Gain (REUG), but not for the peak frequency. For groups A and B were shown significant differences in REUR and REUG. Between the C and D groups were significant statistics to the REUR and REUG, but not for the frequency of the primary peak. CONCLUSION: Changes influence the external ear resonance, decreasing its amplitude. However, the frequency of the primary peak is not affected
