BACKGROUND Patients with superior canal dehiscence syndrome may experience vertigo and nystagmus when pressure changes occur in the external auditory canal, the middle ear, or the intracranial space. The cause is a defect in the bone of the superior canal. OBJECTIVE To study the mechanisms of pressure sensitivity of the labyrinth in superior canal dehiscence syndrome and its surgical repair i...

The present case report describes an external auditory canal injury following extraction of the lower molar. The external auditory canal was torn in the same fashion that occurs in an anterior tympanic plate fracture. This case demonstrates one of the rare complications associated with dental extractions.

Seborrheic keratosis is a common and benign cutaneous lesion occurring on the trunk, extremities, and head and neck of the elderly. It is rarely seen in the external auditory canal. We present a case of seborrheic keratosis in the external auditory canal of a one-year-old child. The patient was treated successfully with surgical excision.

Absence of external auditory ear canal, or aural atresia is not a common condition in goats. The present study reports on a rare case of aural atresia with microtia in a kid. Genetic attributes have been made to microtia. Absence of external auditory ear canal with microtia in the present case is congenital as it was seen from birth.

Introduction: The incidence of cholesteatoma occurring as a result of tympanoplasty is extremely rare. Understanding the cause and preventing its occurrence in the future is the main intention of highlighting this peculiar presentation.   Case Report: A 25-year-old woman presented with progressive hearing loss and blocked sensation in the left ear of one and a half month...

There is number of variations in the morphology of the External Auditory Canal which influence the ability to examine the canal and also play a role in pathogenesis of many Ear diseases. Broadly the aperture of the External Auditory canal is classified into ―Narrow‖ and ―Broad‖ canals. The natural self cleansing ability of the Ear canal may be affected in narrow canals, which could predispose t...

Congenital external auditory canal atresia is a disorder with a prevalence of one in 10 000-20 000 live births and is bilateral in one third of the patients. With a conductive hearing loss of 60 dB, even unilateral atresia restricts hearing related social skills. The degree of middle ear deformity may make reconstruction surgery impossible or too hazardous, thus bone-conduction hearing aids hav...
