otoscopy should includes inspection of the external ear and pinna
INSPECT THE EXTERNAL MEATUS
--discharge,blood or pus
-masses
-on insertion of speculum inspect the canal
-skin
-discharge
-swelling
-wax
OTOSCOPY POSITION
pt should be positioned e the head flexed laterally away from the examiner
the external auditory canal has a bend which normally restricts the examiner,s view
the pinna of the ear to be examined is held firmly and gently pulled upwards and backwards to
straighten the canal using the hand not holding the otoscope
HOLDING THE INSTRUMENT
otoscope is held in the same hand as the ear being examined
the speculum should be as wide as possible to comforttably fit into the ear canal
holding the otoscope (like a pen) horizontally provides a secure cradle for the instrument
the curled fingers can rest against the cheek and the handle will not catch the shoulder (as it may if
held vertically)
in addition this position will help protect against accidently pushing too deeply into the outer ear

• 3. Persistent perforation
• Differential diagnosis of this lesion:
• This is a red drum
• Could be due to:

• 2. High jugular bulb - Normal variant. CT scan
shows intact jugular foramen
• 3. Glomus jugulare - associated with pulsatile
tinnitus, conductive deafness, positive Brown's
sign. CT scan shows eorsion of jugular foramen.
• 40 years old male patient

• Pain in left ear - 4 days

• Perform three finger test on this patient
• Greet the patient first
• Explain the procedure
• Reassure the patient
• Three fingers are used to perform this test.
• Middle finger is used to apply pressure over the well of the concha -
Tenderness in this area indicates tenderness over the antral area
• Index finger is used to apply pressure over mastoid process -
Tenderness indicates mastoiditis
• Thumb is used to apply pressure over mastoid tip - Tenderness
indicates mastoid emissary vein thrombophlebitis
• 30 years old male patient came with c/o
• Pain right ear - 1 week
• Blocking sensation right ear - 10 days

• Enumerate otoscopic findings
• Mention the possible diagnosis
• Mention in brief the pathophysiology of this disorder
• Whitish mass admixed with wax can be seen in the external canal
• The external canal appears widened
• Probable diagnosis - Keratosis obturans
• Kertosis obturans occur due to faulty epithelial migration of external canal
skin. This movement occurs in a reverse direction in these patients (i.e.
towards the ear drum)
• Name the type of pinna seen here
• Name some drugs which when ingested
during pregnancy would cause this condition

• Mild pain ++
• No h/o fever
• Name the possible pathology
• How will you manage this condition ?
• Aural seroma
• Needle aspiration with application of
compression dressing to prevent reaccumulation.
• Why is this external auditory canal narrow ?
• What could be the cause ?
• What could be the clinical problems faced by the patient ?
• What surgery should be performed in this patient ?
• Exostosis of external auditory canal.
• It is common in swimmers.
• These patients have conductive deafness, cerumen
impaction.
• Cerumen impaction is caused by abnormal self cleansing
mechanism of the skin lining external canal in these
patients.
• Canalplasty
• 30 years old female patient came to the OPD
with c/o:
• Hard of hearing both sides – 4 years

mobility on siegalization.
• Given below is the audiogram of the patient:
• What could be the probable diagnosis?
What do you see in the audiogram?
• This patient is probably suffering from otosclerosis.
• The audiogram shows carharts notch. It is classically seen in bone
conduction audiogram of patients as a dip centered around
2000Hz.
