    Chronic discharging ear, mostly due to middle or external ear infection, is one of the leading causes for seeking healthcare among the paediatric population in a developing country. However, a long-standing forgotten middle ear foreign body forms a rare cause for such presentation demanding a high index of suspicion from the clinicians. Most of them are iatrogenic or accidental, and are removed by conventional permeatal approach; need for tympanotomy is rarely documented in the recent literature. We report the first case where a large stone was introduced into the middle ear through a pre-existing tympanic membrane perforation by the child himself, and only the second documentation of removal of a middle ear foreign body by tympanotomy in a child.

    INTRODUCTION: Congenital cholesteatoma (CC) of the middle ear is a rare entity that may be undiagnosed for years. The lesion can grow undetected until it produces symptoms such as reduced hearing or otalgia.

    METHOD: Case report.

    RESULTS: We report two cases of young ladies with CC who presented with different otological symptoms. The first case complained of recurrent unilateral ear pain while the second case presented with unilateral reduced hearing. Examination of both cases revealed a whitish mass seen behind an intact tympanic membrane. Both cases underwent surgery and histopathological examinations; findings were consistent with cholesteatoma.

    CONCLUSION: There are varieties of clinical presentations of CC and the diagnosis is based on clinical findings.

    We report a case of High grade Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the middle ear. A 67 year old gentleman was referred to our centre for persistent otalgia associated with facial weakness for four months. Examination revealed a middle ear mass with House Brackmann Grade 3 Facial Palsy and ipsilateral lymhadenopathy. Biopsies suggested a squamous cell carcinoma of the middle ear, and he successfully underwent an Extended Temporal bone resection with External canal reconstruction and neck dissection. Postoperative Histopathology revealed that the tumour was in fact a High Grade Mucoepidermoid carcinoma. He received postoperative radiotherapy and is well one year post operatively.

    A 12-year-old boy with moderate to severe bilateral mixed hearing loss was planned for hearing aid placement. During the process of making ear mould impression, the impression material accidentally entered the right middle ear. Removal of the ear mould impression was possible permeatally under general anaesthesia.

    OBJECTIVE: To describe surgical management for transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) in two patients with aberrant internal carotid artery (ICA) in the middle ear.

    PATIENTS: A young girl who complained of pulsatile tinnitus and an elderly man who presented with ear bleeding. Otoendoscopy examination revealed a pulsatile reddish mass protruding through the tympanic membrane in both patients.

    INTERVENTIONS: A combination of clinical assessments and imaging supported the diagnosis of aberrant ICA in the middle ear. Transcanal endoscopic reinforcement of the artery was performed; tragal cartilage was used as a shield to strengthen the carotid canal defect.

    RESULTS: Assisted by fine endoscopic instruments, the protruding arteries were separated without damage to the surrounding structures and reinforced using tragal cartilage. Both patients' symptoms improved postoperatively; they reported tinnitus relief and hearing improvement.

    CONCLUSION: To prevent catastrophic events, diagnosis of aberrant ICA is important before any surgical intervention. With appropriate management, surgical intervention using transcanal endoscopic ear surgery offers a clear view of the surgical field and is an excellent choice for management of aberrant ICA.

    The discovery of an additional specimen of Sphenomorphus malayanus Doria, 1888 from Gunung Brinchang, Cameron Highlands, Pahang in Peninsular Malaysia reveals that it is not conspecific with the type specimen from Gunung Singgalan, West Sumatra, 600 km to the south. The new specimen and an additional specimen previously collected from Gunung Gerah, Perak, Peninsular Malaysia, 56 km to the north, are described here as the new species S. senja sp. nov. and differ from S. malayanus by having a larger SVL (60.0-65 mm versus 53 mm); a deeply recessed as opposed to a shallow tympanum; 72 or 73 versus 76 paravertebral scales; eight or nine superciliary scales as opposed to 10; and the posteriormost superciliary scale being large as opposed to small. Cameron Highlands is unique among other upland areas in Peninsular Malaysia in that it harbors an unprecedented number of closely related ecological equivalents living in close sympatry or syntopy.

    Congenital cholesteatoma (CC) is rare clinical condition and It is known as a pearly white mass medial to an intact tympanic membrane. In this case report, we describe a 6-year-old boy who presented with a one year history of left ear discomfort, reduced hearing, followed by ear discharge two months prior to admission. Otoscopic examination revealed a large attic perforation. Radiological investigation showed extensive cholesteatoma in the mastoid, mesotympanum and epitympanum with destruction of the ossicles including the stapes footplate. He underwent radical mastoidectomy in view of extensive cholesteatoma with tympanoplasty type V. In this case report, the classification, treatment and theories related to CC are discussed.

    Clinical presentation of Menière's disease in children is not as typical as in adults. The triad of vertigo, tinnitus and deafness are not usually elicited, diagnosis often being made after years of follow up and batteries of investigation. A case of Menière's disease in a 3-year-old boy is presented. The diagnosis was only obvious at the age of 8 when the triad of vertigo, deafness and tinnitus were present. His disease progressed despite a trial of intratympanic gentamicin injections and endolymphatic sac decompression. Vestibular nerve section was subsequently performed for his intractable disease. Following the procedure he was asymptomatic and able to attend school.

    Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a condition characterised by a collection of fluid within the middle ear without signs of acute inflammation. It is common in young children, with a bimodal peak at two and five years of age. Eighty percent of children have at least one episode of OME by the age of 10 years. This disease is a common ear problem among children with craniofacial anomalies including cleft palate and Down syndrome (DS).

    Patients who have had middle-ear or mastoid surgery are at an increased risk of developing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) otorrhoea. The CSF leak is usually from defects in the tegmen or posterior cranial fossa. We present a patient with CSF otorrhoea following a modified radical mastoidectomy seven years ago. There was an unusual communication between the internal auditory meatus (IAM) and the middle ear. Radiologic imaging like the MRI is useful in identifying the site of leak.

    Inverted papilloma is a rare, benign tumour representing only 0.5 to 4 per cent of all sinonasal neoplasms; its involvement of the middle ear is extremely rare. We present a case of multicentric inverted papilloma in the sinonasal region and middle ear in a 54-year-old man. The patient later developed neck metastasis secondary to malignant transformation of the inverted papilloma in the middle ear.

    CONTEXT: Middle ear barotrauma (MEB) is common during chamber compression in hyperbaric oxygen therapy. However, little evidence exists on an optimal compression protocol to minimize the incidence and severity of MEB.

    OBJECTIVE: To compare the incidence of MEB during hyperbaric oxygen therapy using two different chamber compression protocols.

    DESIGN: Double-blinded, randomized controlled trial.

    SETTING: Hyperbaric Medicine Unit, The Townsville Hospital, Queensland, Australia, September 2012 to December 2014.

    PATIENTS: 100 participants undergoing their first hyperbaric oxygen therapy session.

    INTERVENTION: Random assignment to a staged (n=50) or a linear (n=50) compression protocols. Photographs of tympanic membranes were taken pre- and post-treatment and then graded. Middle ear barotrauma was defined as an increase of at least one grade on a modified TEED scale.

    RESULTS: The observed MEB incidence under the staged protocol was 48% compared to 62% using the linear protocol (P=0.12, exact one-sided binomial test), and thus the staged protocol did not show a significant improvement in MEB. However, the staged protocol resulted in significantly less severe deteriorations in MEB grades when compared to the linear protocol (P=0.028, exact one-sided Mann-Whitney type test).

    CONCLUSION: The use of the assessed staged compression protocol for the first hyperbaric oxygen treatment showed no significant effect on the overall incidence of MEB when compared to the gold standard linear protocol but resulted in a significant improvement in the severity of the experienced MEBs. Further studies are needed to elucidate an optimal compression protocol to minimize middle ear barotrauma.
