Tympanic membrane perforation

Intratympanic membrane cholesteatoma presents as an asymptomatic, white, round mass on the tympanic membrane, and is usually detected incidentally in children. A 12-year-old Korean boy visited our otorhinolaryngology clinic for a whitish mass on the right tympanic membrane. He had a history of traumatic tympanic membrane perforation in the right ear that had occurred 1 year prior, which had healed well with a paper patch placement.

Otitis media is an inflammation of the middle ear and mastoid cavity, with recurrent ear discharge through a perforated tympanic membrane. Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been particularly blamed for deep seated and progressive destruction of middle ear structures through its toxins and enzymes. The present study was done to determine the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from otitis media. Patients fulfilling clinical criteria were considered into the study. Two ear swabs were taken from each patient.
