OTOLOGIC MANIFESTATION
5
- Mastoid is a common site of involvement
- Otic capsule & facial nerve are relatively resistant
- Otorrhea is the most common symotom followed by
postauricular swelling, HL, & vertigo
- The most common sign is granulation tissue or aural polyps
Perforation of the TM, otitis media, otitis external, a fistula
between the mastoid and the external canal
- Diagnosis of LCH is suggested by an inflammatory disorder of
middle ear and mastoid that does not respond to routine antibiotic
therapy, bilateral destructive ear disease, an elevated ESR in the
absence of acute infection, exuberant granulation tissue after
mastoid surgery, and associated skin and systemic lesions
- Radiographs show destructive lesions in the mastoid
- The diagnosis is established by biopsy
- A definitive diagnosis of LCH is made by immunostaining and
electron microscopic studies
two lytic lesions of the skull showing beveled edges (arrows) and
nonsclerotic margins, which are typical of histiocytosis X.

TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis otitis media 0.05% to 0.9% of all cases of COM
 Hematogenous or lymphatic or by extension through eustachian
tube
 TM becomes thickened, CHL due SOME
 No pain or tenderness, lymphanopathy in high jugular chain
 Multiple small perforation of the TM
 The middle ear mucosa appears to be hyperemic with polypoid
granulation
 Destruction of mastoid tip may result in Bezolds abscess
 Definitive diagnosis is made by histopathologic examination
Of tissue from the ME or mastoid showing a granulomatous
Process with multinucleated giant cells (langerhans cells) and
histologic demonstration of acid-fast organisms
D.D with wegener granulomatosis and distinguished on the basis of
skin test, cultures of the ME, ANCA
Dx: Systemic use of standard anti-TB chemotherapy however
mastoid surgery may be required to remove sequestrated bone 8

kidneys but can involve any organ
M=F, mean age 40 y
Common presenting symptom: headache, sinusitis, rhinorrhea,
otitis media, fever, arthralgia
Upper airway and sinus involvement in 75% to 90%, pulmonary
manifestations(couph, pleuritic chest pain, hemoptysis and
nodular or cavitary infiltrates) in 65% to 85%

The diagnose of WG is made histologically by the presence of
necrosis granulomatous inflammation with multinucleated giant
cells, vasculitis and microabscess formation
Etiology and pathogenesis unknown, but currently considered to
be an autoimmune disease that is perhaps the result of
stimulation by an infectious agent (or agents)
Prognosis of WG has dramatically improved from mortality rate
of 80% to the current remission rate of >75%
Dx. High doses of corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide or
methotrexate for 3 to 6 m followed by maintenance of remission
using lower doses of corticosteroids and less toxic
immunosuppresants such as azathioprime, methotrexate,
trimethoprime-sulfamethoxazole
Otologic manifestation: Middle ear and mastoid are the most
common sites within the temporal bone, SOM due to obstruction
of the eustachian tube, purulant OM, granulomatous involvement
of the ME & mastoid, facial nerve involvement and inner ear can
be involved


Chronic multisystem disease of unknown etiology that’s
characterized by noncaseating granulomas
It most frequently affects lungs, F>M, and is 10 times more
common in blacks, third to fourth decade
Common presenting symptoms: Bilateral hilar adenopathy,
cough, granulomatous skin rash
Others: iridocyclitis, keratocojectivitis, peripheral
lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, cardiac failure, myalgia,
and arthralgia
The facial & optic nerves are the most commonly affected cranial
nerves
Laboratory findings: Hilar adenopathy in CXR, hypercalcemia,
and elevated serum ACE
It has been suggested that the etiology is linked to genetically
determined enhancement of the T-helper immune response to a 14
limited number of microbial pathogens

Spontaneous resolution occurs in many patients
Corticosteroids are beneficial for those with progressive
symptoms or with ocular, cardiac or CNS involvement
Infliximab (inhibits release of TNF) has been reported as
being effective for some cases that are refractory to other
treatments
Otologic manifestation: SNHL, vestibular dysfunction and
facial nerve paralysis, or occasionally granulomatous
disease of the external or middle ear and mastoid
The facial nerve is the most commonly affected cranial
nerve, it is often bilateral, it may resolve spontaneously and
is usually involved as part of the triad of uveoparotid fever
(Heerfordts syndrome) parotitis, uveitis, facial nerve
paralysis, and mild pyrexia

SYPHILIS
• Both congenital and acquired syphilis may affect the middle ear in the late
latent and tertiary forms
• In late latent form the ME & mastoid affected by rarefying osteitis with
leukocytic infiltration
• In tertiary the gumma demonstrates obliterative arteritis and central
necrosis, A gumma of the ear canal or ME may result in perforation of TM
and a granulomatous appearance of mucosa
• Definitive diagnosis of syphilis requires a positive serologic test and a
histologic demonstration of Treponema pallidum
• Syphilis may mimic TB
• Heneberts sign (induction of ocular deviation with positive or negative
pressure in the external canal) probably due to fibrous adhesion between the
stapes footplate and the membranous labyrinth
• Dx: Combined antibiotic and corticosteroid

LYME DISEASE
 Multisystem inflammatory disorder that affects skin, nervous
system, heart, joints
 Spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi
 Transmitted by Ixodes Ticks
 Primary reservoirs are white-footed mice and white-tailed deer
 Three clinical stages are recognized :
a- The first stage (early, localized infection) begins 3 to 33 days
after a tick bite (erythema migrans), this lesion occurs
in 60%-80% of patients and may accompanied by minor
constitutional symptoms
b- The second stage (early, disseminated infection) occurs within
days or weeks after inoculation, symptoms include fever,
migratory arthralgia, myalgia, headache, meningismus,
generalized lymphadenopathy, malaise, fatigue, and secondary
annular skin lesion
c-The third stage occurs more than a year after onset and can
result in chronic, prolonged arthritis, chronic encephalomyelitis,
chronic axonal peripheral polyradiculopathy, keratitis,
acrodermatitis chronic`atrophicans, localized scleroderma-like
lesions

pathogenesis
Diagnosis is based on the recognition of the characteristic clinical
features, a history of exposure and detection of a specific
antibody to B. burgdorferi
Dx: The spirochete is highly sensitive to doxycycline, other
effective antibiotics include amoxicillin, erythromycin,
cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, imipenem. Steroids for carditis and
arthritis.
Vaccine is now available
Otologic manifestation: Facial nerve paralysis is the most
common Otologic manifestation (3% to 11%), bilateral in
(25%), in second stage, in all ages and both sexes, acute in onset,
return is spontaneous and complete, antibiotics or steroids do
not appear to influence the duration or outcome
Lymphocytoma a red and violet nodules occur on the earlobe
during the second stage
SNHL, sudden hearing loss, vertigo, meniere-like symptom have
been described

Diagnose is made by biopsy and culture
Treatment consists of control of the underlying
predisposing condition, surgical debridement of necrotic
tissue and Amphotercin- B
Otologic manifestation: destruction of the middle ear cleft
ensues, often with extention to the surrounding
structures , including thrombosis or rupture of the

Is the most common neoplasm after the acoustic neuroma
Divided into two groups: the glomus tympanicum and glomus jugulare
Symptom:
The glomus tympanicum appears with pulsatile tinnitus and a CHL
The glomus jugulare appears late, after considerable growth and bony
destruction, may cause a neurologic defect in CNs IX to XII, facial nerve
paresis caused by tumor extension into the mastoid, or SNHL caused by
bony erosion of the labyrrinth
Both may erode the TM and presenting by bleeding mass
10% of nonfamilial and 50% of familial have at least one additional
Lesion
A few PG, both benign and malignant may secrete catecholamines

Dx: surgery, radiotherapy is useful for management of recurrences and
unresectable lesions
 Hematogenous dissemination
 The most common sites:
 Breast, lung, prostate, skin
 Petrous apex and internal auditory canal
 The otic capsule relatively resistant
 CHL, pain, SNHL, vertigo, facial paralysis

Type I through IV
Type I: AD, mildest form, blue sclera, nondeforming fructures, normal
stature, HL in 30%-50%
Type II: most severe, multiple fracture in uterus, stillbirth, AR or sporadic
Type III: multiple fracture, bone deformity, HL in 50%
Type IV: AD, similar to type I except that the sclera are white, HL in 10%30%
Tx: management of fractures, orthopedic surgery, bisphosphonate
Otologic manifestation: SNHL in 40%, high correlation with gray or white
sclera, CHL accompanies blue sclera, CHL reflects structural change in the
ossicles, microfractures of the manuberium, fragility of the long process of
the incus, fracture or resorption of the crura of the stapes

Classified into seven types, all are AR except for Hunters syn (MPS II)
which is X-linked recessive
Management is supportive and symptomatic
MPS III: Hurlers syn, accumulation of heparan sulfate, corneal clouding,
abnormal facies, hepatosplenomegaly, MR, joint stiffness, and hernias
MPS II: Hunters syn, accumulation of heparan sulfate and dermatan
sulfate, similar to hurler, but corneal clouding is not seen
MPS IV: Moquios syn, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia

Ochronosis
 Ochronosis is a rare disease that is caused by an inherited lack of
the enzyme homogentisic acid oxidase.
 The presence of homogentisic acid in urine is called
alkaptonuria. The result of this inborn error of metabolism is the
deposition of a dark pigment in tissues that are rich in collagen.
 Patients often present with symptoms and signs during the third
decade of life.
 Manifestations include ochronotic arthropathy, ocular and
cutaneous pigmentation, obstruction of the genitourinary tract by
ochronotic calculi, and cardiovascular manifestations as a result of
ochronosis affecting the aortic valve.
 Ochronosis has manifestations in the external ear; cartilage is a
site of predilection for the deposition of the pigment of
ochronosis. Blue or mottled-brown macules can appear on the
pinna and in other areas of the head and neck, including the
nose, buccal mucosa, tonsils, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus.
