otorrhea การใช้

• Oral antibiotics should not be used to treat uncomplicated acute tympanostomy tube otorrhea.
• Thus, beta-2 transferrin in otorrhea would be suggestive of either a CSF leak or a perilymph leak.
• Acute otitis media in children with moderate to severe bulging of the tympanic membrane or new onset of otorrhea ( drainage ) is not due to external otitis.
• Discharge from the ear can be caused by acute otitis media with perforation of the ear drum, chronic suppurative otitis media, tympanostomy tube otorrhea, or acute otitis externa.
• The leaking fluid may accumulate in the middle ear space, and dribble out through a perforated eardrum ( CSF otorrhea ) or into the nasopharynx via the eustachian tube, causing a salty taste.
• A fracture classification system in which temporal bone fractures detected on CT are delineated based on disruption of the otic capsule has been found to be predictive for complications of temporal bone trauma such as facial nerve injury, sensorineural deafness and cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea.
