  1. Case series of tuberculous otitis media: Spectrum of clinical presentation and outcome
    Te BC, Goh BS
    Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp (Engl Ed), 2021 Jan 13.
    PMID: 33454087 DOI: 10.1016/j.otorri.2020.09.007
    OBJECTIVE: Tuberculous otitis media (TB OM) is a rare disease. We present here our experience of TB OM on its clinical presentation, investigation and treatment outcome.

    METHODS: A retrospective observational study was performed and clinical data of patients in whom TB OM was diagnosed at our center between 2008 and 2019 was analyzed.

    RESULTS: Five cases of TB OM were identified. Otorrhoea was the most consistent presenting chief complaint while one of the cases presented with right post-auricular swelling. All the cases were successfully treated with anti-tuberculous medication with outcome of dry middle ear but only one case achieved full recovery of hearing loss.

    CONCLUSION: Due to the disparity of presentations in all our patients, we would like to emphasize the high index of suspicion of TB OM in acute or chronic cases of otitis media with unusual presentation or poor response to standard treatment.

  2. Fulltext A Rare Cause of Red Tympanic Membrane: Jugular Bulb Diverticulum
    Te BC, Ong KP, Zainon IH
    Ear Nose Throat J, 2023 Nov;102(11):NP540-NP542.
    PMID: 34219487 DOI: 10.1177/01455613211031384
    SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Pulsatile tinnitus with erythematous tympanic membrane mass suggests vascular pathologies such as dural arteriovenous fistula, glomus tympanicum, or aberrant carotid artery. Jugular bulb aneurysmatic diverticulum is rare but should be suspected in a case with the presence of aneurysm in other organs. An imaging study is mandatory to confirm the diagnosis. Patient must avoid digging ear as it can cause profuse bleeding. Treatment option can be open surgery or endovascular treatment.
  3. Fulltext Association of Cobb angle progression and neuraxial abnormality on MRI in asymptomatic Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
    Mohd Zaki F, Ng KL, Te BC, Azman MH, Nur Aifaa L, Mohd Razali N, et al.
    Med J Malaysia, 2016 Jun;71(3):122-5.
    PMID: 27495885 MyJurnal
    Detection of neuraxial abnormality in neurologically asymptomatic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is crucial prior to surgery. It can only be detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which was not routinely done in this group of patient. On the other hand, whole spine radiographs for measurement of Cobb angle have been routinely included during clinic follow-up. This study aimed to determine the correlation between Cobb angle progression and neuraxial abnormality finding on MRI in asymptomatic AIS.
