Joint Surgery for Elevation of the Auricle and Construction of the EAC. 2. Construction of the External Auditory Canal/Middle Ear

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. Late Presentation of Idiopathic Tympanic Membrane Ossification with External Auditory Canal Stenosis. Int J Otorhinolaryngol Clin 2015;7(3):141-143.

<p>Foreign body in ear is an emergency encountered by an otolaryngologist and if not removed it can lead to serious complications. Most commonly foreign body in ear is lodged in external auditory canal while it’s rare to find it in middle ear. We report a case of foreign body in the middle ear in a 3-year-old child who presented to us with chronic discharging ear who was then suspected to be unsafe ear and so was taken up for exploration under microscope. A pink polypoidal mass arising from middle ear mucosa was found and following its removal- to our surprise; a blackish rubbery debris filling the middle ear cavity and attic area along with embedded foreign body was extracted. We conclude that pediatric patients with chronic ear discharge not responding to antibiotics should raise a suspicion of FB in the middle ear and explored timely.</p>

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the effect of tranexamic acid on intra-operative bleeding and surgical field visualisation.MethodsFifty patients undergoing various endoscopic ear surgical procedures, including endoscopic tympanoplasty, endoscopic atticotomy or mastoidectomy, endoscopic ossiculoplasty, and endoscopic stapedotomy, were randomly assigned to: a study group that received tranexamic acid or a control group which received normal saline. The intra-operative bleeding and operative field visualisation was graded using the Das and Mitra endoscopic ear surgery bleeding and field visibility score, which was separately analysed for the external auditory canal and the middle ear.ResultsThe Das and Mitra score was better (p < 0.05) in the group that received tranexamic acid as a haemostat when working in the external auditory canal; with respect to the middle ear, no statistically significant difference was found between the two agents. Mean values for mean arterial pressure, heart rate and surgical time were comparable in both groups, with no statistically significant differences.ConclusionTranexamic acid appears to be an effective haemostat in endoscopic ear surgery, thus improving surgical field visualisation, especially during manipulation of the external auditory canal soft tissues.
