Extruded Cast of the Tympanic Membrane Following Severe Acute Otitis Media, Medial View
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. This photograph shows the medial [tympanic membrane side] of a cast of the tympanic membrane which developed following a severe acute otitis media.
