AbstractObjectives:We report a unique case of traumatic tympanic membrane perforation caused by a needlefish beak. We describe the mechanism of injury, the clinical findings and the treatment.Case report:An 11-year-old boy presented with otorrhoea and hearing loss secondary to a traumatic tympanic membrane perforation by a needlefish. The perforation was repaired by performing a myringoplasty, with satisfactory post-operative audiological results.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of its kind. It is recommended that careful examination of the middle-ear space should always be carried out prior to and during myringoplasty if there is a possibility of a foreign body.

AbstractWhitish pale looking mass in the middle ear space is a diagnostic challenge not only to a novice otologic surgeon but also for an experienced surgeon. The array of differentials should be known for appropriate site of origin and its true nature. We have discussed a case of pale looking tympanic paraganglioma behind an intact tympanic membrane with few differentials to consider.
