Acute Otitis Media is an acute inflammation of the middle ear, often due to bacterial infection. It affects the middle ear, including the tympanic membrane and ossicles. It is commonly seen in children.
Acute Otitis Externa (Swimmer’s Ear)
Acute Otitis Externa, commonly known as Swimmer’s Ear, is an infection or inflammation of the outer ear canal. It is often caused by bacterial or fungal growth in the moist environment of the ear canal.
Aural Atresia
Aural Atresia is a congenital condition where the ear canal fails to develop properly or is absent. It affects the external auditory canal, often leading to hearing loss in the affected ear.
Cholesteatoma
Cholesteatoma is a noncancerous cyst-like growth of skin cells in the middle ear behind the eardrum. It can cause destruction of middle ear bones and structures if left untreated.
Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak
A Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leak occurs when there is a hole or tear in the membranes surrounding the brain or spinal cord, leading to leakage of CSF. It can result in complications such as meningitis if left untreated.
Encephalocele
Encephalocele is a congenital condition where the brain tissue protrudes through a defect in the skull. It can occur in various locations along the midline of the skull and is associated with neurological complications.
Facial Neuroma
Facial Neuroma, also known as vestibular schwannoma or acoustic neuroma, is a benign tumor that develops on the vestibular nerve, which connects the inner ear to the brain. It can affect balance and hearing.
Glomus Tumor
A Glomus Tumor, also known as a paraganglioma, is a rare benign tumor that originates from the glomus cells of the neuroendocrine system. It typically occurs in the head and neck region, often near the ear.
Mastoiditis
Mastoiditis is a bacterial infection of the mastoid bone, located behind the ear. It usually develops as a complication of untreated middle ear infections (otitis media).
Meningioma
A Meningioma is a common type of benign brain tumor that arises from the meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Otosclerosis
Otosclerosis is a condition where abnormal bone growth in the middle ear interferes with the movement of the stapes bone, causing conductive hearing loss.
Tympanic Membrane Perforation
A Tympanic Membrane Perforation, also known as a ruptured eardrum, is a tear or hole in the thin membrane that separates the outer ear from the middle ear.
Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence
Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence (SSCD) is a rare condition where there is an abnormal opening or thinning of the bone overlying the superior semicircular canal of the inner ear.
