Heady Flashcards
(55 cards)
The Tympanic reflex a protective reactions to loud noise involves which muscle and nerve combination
Tensor timpani controlled by the trigeminal nerve and stapedius muscle control by the facial nerve
Which of the following structures is primarily responsible for maintaining the integrity of the function of the middle ear
Eustachian tube
In the normal right ear where do you expect to see the cone of light
5 o’clock
In a right ear when the cone of light is seen at 3 o’clock and the manubrium appears to be shortened and horizontally oriented the tympanic membrane is most likely “ blank”
Retracted
Patient presents with an itching external auditory canal and states that when they scratch it they experience a burning pain you suspect
Otomycosis externa
Swimmers ear is most commonly associated with
Pseudomonas infection
Which of the following presentations can cause a conductive hearing loss
Tympanosclerosis
A 28-year-old male patient presents with bilateral ear pain he has had an upper respiratory infection for the past six days he just returned from a vacation in the Bahamas yesterday you examine his ears and note bluish gray tympanic membranes. Given his complaint and the appearance of the membranes you suspect
Acute-otitis media
This condition is caused by a reaction of the periosteum resulting from stimulation of the auditory canal by repeated exposure to cold water
Exostosis aka surfers ear
What is the correct sequence of events in the development of otitis media
Eustachian tube blockage tympanic membrane retraction serous otitis media purulent otitis media tympanic membrane rupture
Which of the following conditions can be a result of chronic and repeated middle ear infections
Cholesteatoma
An abnormal sensation of movement usually rotary associated with difficulty maintaining balance is called
Vertigo
Tinnitus
Perception of sound in the absence of an acoustic stimulus
Tympanosclerosis
A.k.a. myRingosclerosis a.k.a. intratympanic tympanosclerosis calcification of tissues in the middle ear sometimes resulting in a detrimental effect to hearing
Otalgia
Pain inside the ear as well as referred pain to the ear potentially making it difficult to hear
This condition is described to involve recurrences Of sudden attacks of whirling vertigo tinnitus and hearing loss with nausea and vomiting at the peak when the attack subsides there is residual low-level tinnitus and the resulting hearing loss it is called
Menieres syndrome
This condition presents with hyperemic vessels across the tympanic membrane which is usually bulging landmarks are obscured with significant pain and the drum might perforate
Acute purulent otitis media
Complications of endolymphatic hydrops include which of the following
Neural hearing loss
Complication of repeated Purulent otitis media
Otosclerosis
The perception of sound in the absence of an acoustic stimulus describes
Tinnitus
This condition is often the result of recurrent middle ear infections
Tympanosclerosis
This cyst like mass is filled with cellular debris has a cottage cheese appearance is most common in the middle ear and can spread to the skull and even into the cranium causing CNS dysfunction
Cholesteatoma
The most common cause of conductive hearing loss
Excessive cerulean accumulation
Which of the following conditions is least likely to be associated with Tympanic membrane perforation
Serous otitis media
