Thin Thickening of the Fibrous Layer Tympanic...
The gossamer like thickening below the malleus is the result of previous ear infections and represents a very mild stage of tympanosclerosis. This thickening will have no functional effect.
Atelectasis
The posterior half of this right tympanic membrane has collapsed medially due to persistent negative pressure in the middle ear. The head of the stapes can be seen as well as the long process of the incus...
Atelectasis of the Tympanic Membrane
The posterior inferior quadrant of this tympanic membrane has lost its supporting fibrous middle layer and as a result has been retracted medially by negative pressure in the middle ear. This is referred...
Granular Myringitis
Note the large mass of granulation tissue on the lateral surface of this right tympanic membrane.
Granular Myringitis
Note the large mass of granulation tissue located in the central portion of this left tympanic membrane.
Epidermal Cyst Tympanic Membrane.
There is a small benign epidermal cyst in the central portion of this patients tympanic membrane.
Epidermal Cyst External Ear Canal
There is an epidermal inclusion system arising from the cartilaginous external auditory canal.
Bullous Myringitis Case 1
Bullous myringitis is an infection of the outer epithelial layer of the tympanic membrane and of the deep pony external auditory canal, in which small, fluid-filled blisters form on the eardrum and sometimes...
Bullous Myringitis Blood Filled Bleb
Bullous myringitis is an infection of the outer epithelial layer of the tympanic membrane and of the deep pony external auditory canal, in which small, fluid-filled blisters form on the eardrum and sometimes...
Bullous Myringitis Case 2
Bullous myringitis is an infection of the outer epithelial layer of the tympanic membrane and of the deep pony external auditory canal, in which small, fluid-filled blisters form on the eardrum and sometimes...
Bullous Myringitis Case 3
In this patient with severe bullous myringitis, the entire surface of the tympanic membrane is covered by one large blood filled bleb or blister.
Severe Bullous Myringitis
This is a severe case of bullous myringitis in which the bullae have drained spontaneously. The entire surface of this right tympanic membrane seems to have been involved. In this case the initial presentation...
Bullous Myringitis Case 2 Drained
This is the same patient shown in case two in which the blood has been punctured and drained. Note the sub epithelial blood which has extended towards the central portion of this right tympanic membrane.
Congenital Epiderman Cyst of the Tympanic Membrane
Note the round white cyst in the tympanic membrane just overlying the malleus of this right tympanic membrane. This is a rare intratympanic membrane epidermal cyst.
Posterosuperior Retraction Pocket
Note the posterior – superior retraction pocket in this right tympanic membrane. The long process of the incus and the stapedial tendon can be quite clearly seen in the 11 o'clock position.
