Separating Crust from Tympanic Membrane
Case description
In very severe cases of acute otitis media the infection in the middle ear may spread into the tympanic membrane resulting in what is essentially an acute tympanic membrane infection. When this happens the tympanic membrane becomes edematous and serous fluid leaks from the tympanic membrane. Once the infection is resolved this serous fluid will dry into a golden yellow crust. Once the infection is resolved, this crust will be extruded off the tympanic membrane and out of the ear canal by the process of normal epithelial migration. Note the dried crust which is separating off of this right tympanic membrane. Once fully separated, it will be referred to as a "cast".
