4. It occurs more easily:
In children and infant
In winter and spring
After upper respiratory infection
Measles, diphtheria, tonsillitis,
chronic infection of sinuses and nasal
allergy are other predisposing factors

7. It is the most common route.
CHILDREN ARE MORE SUCCEPTIBLE:
1. Eustachian tube in infants
and young children is shorter, wider,
more horizontal and less stiff.
2. Large adenoids can interfere with the
opening of the tube
3. Immune system is not fully developed

8. A small tube connecting the middle ear
to the nasopharynx
FUNCTIONS
1. Regulate and equalize pressure of
middle ear
2. Prevent fluid from accumulating in the
middle ear
3. Protect from the nasopharyngeal
infection

9. •In children ET is at an angle of 10° while in adults it is at an
angle of 45°.
•ISTHMUS is a narrowing in the ET, at the junction of the
cartilaginous and bony part.
•It is only present in adults.nihar.gupta99@gmail.com 9
10. Associated with TM perforation
Eg. TM trauma, insertion of tympanostomy
tubes, tympanometry, myringotomy
This is an uncommon route

11. The disease runs through the following
stages:
1. Stage of tubal occlusion
2. Stage of pre-suppuration
3. Stage of suppuration
4. Stage of resolution or
complication

14. TM retracted
1. Foreshortened
handle of malleus
2. No cone of light
3. Prominent lateral
process of malleus

24. Myringotomy is a surgical procedure in
which a tiny incision is created in
the eardrum to relieve pressure caused
by excessive buildup of fluid, or to
drain pus from the middle ear.
A tympanostomy tube is inserted into the
eardrum to keep the middle ear aerated
for a prolonged time and to prevent
reaccumulation of fluid.

29. MEATAL FURUNCLE
1. No hearing loss
2. TM is normal
ACUTE MYRINGITIS
1. Severe earache
2. Hearing loss is slight
3. TM: hyperemia and bulla forms
4. After influenza or zoster infection
