OBJECTIVE
The chorda tympani and Arnold's nerves have close approximation to each other and their cross-innervation is possible after ear surgery.
METHODS
A retrospective study was performed with a temporal bone pathology case and two clinical cases as representatives of such a possibility. Patients
Burow's solution, 13% aluminum acetate dissolved in water developed as ear drops by German Dr. Karl August Burow in the mid-1800s, was confirmed by Mahoney (1980) and Thorp et al. (2000) to act on chronic suppurative otitis media without ototoxicity. We have found it satisfactory in treating otitis
Aspergillus mastoiditis and skull-base osteomyelitis are extremely rare, even in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of an 81-year-old immunocompetent man, who underwent a mastoidectomy because of unexplained, progressive otalgia in spite of a noninflamed and air-containing middle-ear
Cholesteatoma in the external auditory canal (EAC) is an uncommon situation, and is especially rare in pediatric patients. We report two pediatric cases of external canal cholesteatoma with extensive invasion into mastoid cavity. Both cases had otalgia and poor hearing as the initial symptoms, and
Herein, we report an unusual case of large tonsillolith presented with acute otalgia. Since the tonsils and tonsillar fossa are supplied by the glossopharyngeal nerve, any irritation or pain can be referred to the ear along the tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal (Jacobson's) nerve. Also, it is
OBJECTIVE
To describe an isolated ossifying fibroma of the mastoid cavity that did not invade the inner ear and middle ear cavity.

Many patients who present with otalgia have a normal otological examination, and a distant source of pain must be considered. The ear receives an extensive sensory innervation arising from six nerve roots. Many other structures in the head, neck and thorax share a common neuronal pathway with the
A 39-year-old male was admitted to our clinic with symptoms of headache, dizziness, nausea, otalgia, otorrhea, tinnitus, and hearing loss in both ears for 3 weeks. Physical examination revealed edema in the tympanic membrane and external ear canal, and pain by palpation in the mastoid area
Dysphagia of greater than 48 h duration is an indication for indirect laryngoscopy and when odynophagia and otalgia occur simultaneously, the possibility of subluxation of the arytenoids demands an urgent ENT assessment. The potential seriousness of laryngeal lesions following intubation obliges us
We have reviewed 50 cases of Wegener's granulomatosis, seen at the New England Medical Center Hospital between 1970 and 1984, and were impressed that 10 (20%) of these patients were under 25 years of age, with ages ranging from 13 to 23 years. Closer examination of this younger group revealed
BACKGROUND
Etiopathogenetically, there are two types of chollesteatomas: congenital, and acquired. Numerous theories in the literature try to explain the nature of the disease, however, the question about cholesteatomas remain still unanswered. The aim of the study was to present a case of external
Otitis media chronica cholesteatomatica with cerebral sigmoid sinus thrombosis is an important differential diagnosis in the evaluation of headache. We describe a 31-year-old Filipino man with chief complaints of headache, otalgia, vomiting, and vertigo, and no significant past medical history. Two

Scuba divers are subjected to relatively high ambient pressures while descending. Equalizing maneuvers (e.g., Valsalva) are necessary to open the Eustachian tube (ET) and allow air into the middle ear (ME) cavity. Insufficient opening of the ET leads to ME barotrauma, which is the most
A 12-year-old girl had a 1-week history of left otalgia with hearing loss in May, 1989. Audiometry showed a conductive hearing loss of 60 dB. The conventional medical treatment for acute otitis media was initiated, but the symptoms and signs failed to respond this treatment. Four weeks after initial
Otitis media with effusion (OME) is known to occur in school or preschool children. Its chief symptom is hearing disturbance without otalgia. One of its effective therapies is myringotomy and suction of secretion out of its morbid tympanic cavities. This improvement differs with frequencies. The
