CASE REPORT
Presented by : Group 11.2
OVERVIEW
Anatomy of The Ear
(Marieb and Hoend, 2007)
The peripheral auditory system is divided into 3 parts :
The external earThe middle earThe inner ear
(Marieb and Hoend, 2007)
External Ear
(Lalwwani, 2006)
External Ear
The external auditory canal consists of a 1/3 lateral cartilaginous portion and a 2/3 medial bony portion.
The tympanic membrane is the border between middle and external ear, which consists of three layers: the outer, middle, and inner layers.
(Gray’s Anatomy for Student,2007)
Middle Ear
(Lalwwani, 2006)
Middle Ear
The middle ear cavity originates embryologically from the first branchial pouch
There are three ossicles the malleus, the incus, and the stapes.
An air-filled, mucous membrane-lined space in the temporal bone between the tympanic membrane laterally and the lateral wall of the internal ear medially.
(Gray’s Anatomy for Student,2007)
Middle Ear
Middle Ear
Tympanic Membrane
Oval shape 8 mm wide and 10 mm high consists of three layers:
1. The outer layer : from the ectoderm, consists of squamous epithelium.
2. The inner layer : from the endoderm, consists of cuboidal mucosal epithelium.
3. The middle layer : from the mesenchyme, called the middle fibrous layer
Tympanic Membrane
Pharyngotympanic Tube
Pharyngotympanic tube (Eustachian tube)
The pharyngotympanic tube/Eustachian tube connects the middle ear - the nasopharynx
Range of length : 31 to 38 mm In adults, the Eustachian tube lies at
an angle 45ºin relation to horizontal plane and in infants this inclination is 10º
Pharyngotympanic Tube
The Eustachian Tube has three function :
1.Ventilation of the middle ear associated with equalization.
2.Protection of the middle ear from sound and secretions.
3.Drainage of middle ear secretions into the nasopharynxwith.
Vasculary Supply
Great vessels- anterior tympanic branch of the
maxillary: tympanic membrane - stylomastoid branch of the occipital
or posterior auricular arteries : the posterior tympanic cavity and mastoid air cells.
Vasculary Supply
. The smallers arteries include:- petrosal branch of the middle
meningeal- the superior tympanic branch of the
middle meningeal - a branch from the ascending
pharyngeal - tympanic branch or branches from
the internal carotid canal
Vasculary Supply
VeinsThese terminate in the pterygoid venous plexus and the superior petrosal sinus.
Innervation
- The nerves that innervate tympanic cavity is tympanic plexus.
- Derives from the tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve and the caroticotympanic nerves.
Innervation
Tympanic Plexus supplies: Branches to the mucosa of the tympanic
cavity, pharyngotympanic tube and mastoid air cells.
A branch traversing an opening anterior to the fenestra vestibuli and joining the greater petrosal nerve.
The lesser petrosal nerve, which may be regarded as continuation of the tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve travesing the tympanic plexus
OTITIS MEDIA
Introduction of Otitis Media
Most common diseases of the middle ear are inflammations infections play a major role
Otitis media - most common reason for an illness-related medical visit in preschool age children. (Bailey, 2006)
Second most common diagnosis made by pediatricians. (Linsk R et al,2002)
Definition of Otitis Media= inflammatory process within the
middle ear cleft.
Otitis media can be either acute or chronic. There is no absolute time period that distinguishes between acute and chronic OM, but, in general, disease that persists for more than 3 months should be considered chronic.
Incidence of Otitis Media
70% of children will have had one or more episodes of acute otitis media by their third birthday.
Occurs mainly in children : newborn period - 7 years
Occurs equally in males and females
(Healy&Rosbe,Ballenger’s,2002)
Incidence of Otitis Media
Bondy et al : the proportion of children with a diagnosis of otitis media was highest (42% to 60%) in the 7 to 36 months range
Other studies have shown the highest incidence of acute otitis media, for both sexes, was around the age of 6 to 11 months
(Bailey,2006)
Epidemiology of Otitis Media
Epidemiologic studies at the University of Pittsburgh : 90% incidence of otitis media in urban children within the first 2 years of life. (Clinical Otology,2007)
Children who live in crowded households, low socioeconomic conditions, poor medical care increasing incidence of acute otitis media(Bailey,2006)
Etiology of Otitis Media
Most common bacterial pathogens:- Streptococcus pneumonia (35%) - Haemophilis influenza (23%)
Less Frequent- Moraxella catarrhalis- Group A Streptococcus- Branhamella catarrhalis- Staphylococcus aureu- gram-negative enteric bacteria
Risk Factors of Otitis Media
Low Risk Factors:- Exposure to group day care with
subsequent increase in respiratory infections.
- Exposure to environmental smoke or other respiratory irritants and allergens that interfere with
- Eustachian tube function. - Lack of breast feeding & Supine
feeding position UMHS Otitis Media Guideline, 2002
Risk Factors of Otitis Media
High Risk Factors :Craniofacial abnormalities. Immune deficiency. Gastro-esophageal reflux.
UMHS Otitis Media Guideline, 2002
Classification of Otitis Media Acute stage is the short (less than 3
months) and rapid onset of signs and symptoms of middle ear disease.
Chronic stage is middle ear disease for 3 months or more(Bailey, 2006)
> 3 months : Ballanger,1996 > 2 months : Djaafar, 2001 > 6 weeks : Rolland, 2002
Classification of Otitis Media Acute Otitis Media Suppurative Nonsuppurative Recurrent
Chronic Otitis Media Suppurative Tubotympanic Cholesteatoma Nonsuppurative Otitis media with effusion
Acute Otitis Media (AOM)
Acute otitis media (AOM) is one of the most common infectious diseases seen in children, having its peak incidence in the first 2 years of life.
Definition of AOM
- Acute otitis media (AOM) represents the rapid onset of an inflammatory process of the middle ear space associated with one or more symptoms of local or systemic signs (Healy and Rosbe,2002)
- Acute otitis media (AOM) is an infection that involves the middle ear. The tympanic membrane becomes inflamed and opaque. Blood vessels to the area dilate. Fluid accumulates in the middle ear space. AOM is usually associated with infection by viruses or bacteria.

perforation
Less common signs and symptoms Tinnitus Vertigo Facial paralysis Swelling behind the ear
(Bailey, 2006)
Clinical Features of AOMbased on stages of disease
Clinical Features of AOM
Occlusion tube stage
- Performing tympanic membrane retraction due to negative pressure inside the middle ear due to air.
- Sometimes the color of tympanic membrane normal or pale.
(Sanna et al., 1999)
Clinical Features of AOM
Hyperemia stage or presupuration stage
- Dilated vessels in the tympanic membrane
- The tympanic membrane is hyperemia and edema.
- The performing discharge may be serous so that difficult to assess.
(Sanna et al., 1999)
Clinical Features of AOM
Supuration stage- All symptoms become
more severe. - The drum now starts
bulging and convex. - The exudates exerts
pressure on one spot of the ear drum, may be the point of perforation later and the point appears like yellow nipple.
(Sanna et al., 1999)
Clinical Features of AOM
Perforation stage- The drum perforates , pus
starts flowing out. - Pain and constitutional
symptoms lessen with the escape of ear discharge. Otorrhoea ,may be initially blood-stained,discharge can range from mucoid to frankly purulent. Examination: ear drum reveals a small perforation, usually in the anteroinferior quadrant with pulsatile discharge.(Sanna et al., 1999)
Clinical Features of AOM
Resolution Stage- If the tympanic membrane is still
intact gradually back to normal condition.
- If perforation happens, the discharge will decrease and finally become dry. In good immunity system , resulotion will be performed eventhough without any medical treatment
(Sanna et al., 1999)

Management of AOM
Aim of TherapyTo reduce the severity and duration of pain and other symptoms,To stop infection prosesTo prevent complications,To minimise adverse effects of treatment.
Management of AOM
(PERHATI-KL, 2007)
44
Management of AOM
1. Occlusion stage : Decongestant Antibiotic
2. Hyperemia stage: Antibiotic Decongestant Analgetic\
3. Suppurated Stage Antibiotic Analgesic, antipyretic If necessary Myringotomi
45
4. Perforation stadium H2O2 3 % for 3-5 days Antibiotic
5. Resolution Stadium Antibiotic is continued until 3
weeks if discharge seen in canal ear via perforation TM
46
The Use of Antibiotic in AOM
First choice : Amoxicillin • Dose : 40 – 50 mg/kg BW/day• Effectiveness 85 -94 %• Cheap• Save
If resistance :Amoxyclav, cefuroxim, ceftriaxoneThird choice : clindamycin
47
Prognosis of AOM
The prognosis of patients with acute otitis media is excellent. However, patients and/or their parents still should be encouraged to finish the prescribed medication and to keep their follow-up appointments.
Symptoms usually improve within 24 hours and almost always within 48-72 hours.

Problem
Recurrence of AOM
67
Problem Discussion
Recurrent AOM is defined as 3 episodes of acute suppurative OM in a 6-month period, or 4 episodes in a 12-month period, with complete resolution of symptoms and signs between episodes of infection.
The main prevention stratergies required for the control of otitis media are environmental, and include the alleviation of houseing and overcrowding problems and access to good nutrition.
The effectiveness of prevention stratergies depends on the degree to which: Primary prevention strategies can prevent the early
development or recurrence of otitis media The prevention and management of chronic otitis media
can prevent subsequent hearing loss (secondary infection) The hearing loss can be treated effectively to minimize
disability (tertiary infection)
Primary Prevention Strategies Modify Risk Factors
Environmental and nutritional improvements Breast feeding Swimming Nose blowing, chewing and other stratergies
Early Antibitoc Therapy There is often parental pressure to prescribe
antibiotics at the first presentation of an upper respiratory tract infection
However there is little evidennce that otitis media can be prevented if treatment is commenced at the first sign of upper respiratory symptoms.
Vaccination
Secondary Prevention Strategies
Medical interventions Adherence issues Antibiotic treatment
Surgical interventionsScreening
Screening for hearing loss Screening for infection to implement
intensive treatment including prophylaxis.
71
Case Discussion
In children the canal between nose and Eustachian tube is shorter and more flat so that nasal discharge can enter the middle ear easily and induce Otitis Media
Conclusion
Have been reported a patient, boy, 4 years old and is diagnosed as acute otitis media in perforation stage.
The initial treatment of this patient is by giving antibiotics and pain reliever, along with education.
