Objective Tinnitus of Nasopharyngeal Origin
We report a rare case of objective tinnitus induced by nasopharyngeal muscle constriction. A 49-year-old female patient presented at the clinic with unintentional sounds coming from the nasal cavity while talking or swallowing, which were similar to the lip-smacking sound. Physical examination revealed a hypertrophic posterior nasopharyngeal wall and torus tubarius at rest. With voluntary effort, the posterior pharyngeal wall protruded prominently and collided with the torus tubarius on either side, generating a sound when they were separated. Botox injection was recommended but the patient refused. The diagnosis and treat...

Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss Related to a Skull Base Spontaneous Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak: A Case Report and Literature Review
Ear Nose Throat J. 2023 Aug 8:1455613231191372. doi: 10.1177/01455613231191372. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSpontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a rare condition characterized by orthostatic headache, pulsatile tinnitus, vertigo, nausea, and fluctuating hearing loss; this latter seems to be due to the development of cochlear endolymphatic hydrops following negative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure transmitted to the perilymphatic space through a patent cochlear aqueduct. We here describe a case of bilateral progressive sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) due to intracranial hypotension caused by an undiagnosed s...

Venous Outflow and Otosclerosis: An Unusual Case of Pulsatile Tinnitus
We report resolution of right-sided pulsatile tinnitus in a 44-year-old male who underwent stapedectomy for fenestral otosclerosis. Initial workup revealed a mixed hearing loss and absent stapedial reflexes consistent with ossicular fixation. CT angiography demonstrated near complete stenosis of the left-sided transverse and sigmoid sinuses and dominant contralateral venous outflow. We hypothesized that the dominant right cerebral venous outflow tract created turbulent flow that was conducted to cochlea. Successful stapedectomy was performed, and the pulsatile tinnitus resolved. This case report demonstrates evidence that ...

Malignant Melanoma of the Middle Ear: Case Report
We present a case of malignant melanoma in the middle ear in a 63-year-old woman who presented with severe pain on the right side of her face and head, tinnitus, photophobia, and hemorrhagic discharge from the right ear, as well as right facial nerve paralysis. After more than two years of conservative treatment for otitis media and sclerotic mastoiditis, a pathologically enlarged lymph node on the right side of the neck appears. It is removed, and the histopathological examination reveals that it is metastatic malignant melanoma. Imaging examinations reveal a tumoral lesion in the middle ear with bone infiltration. The ri...

Tinnitus Related to Forceful Eyelid Closure: A Case Report
We present an additional case of a 22-year-old woman with unilateral FECS. The auricles and external auditory canals were normal bilaterally; we examined her tympanic membrane under an endoscope, the left tympanic membrane was retracted simultaneously with the closure of her eyelids. Both tympanograms were of type A. However, small cut trace associated with tympanic membrane movement were obtained during blinking. The patient was managed by behavioral therapy and medication treatment conservatively, and the condition became well-controlled. Here, we present this rare case and review the literature.PMID:36920316 | DOI:10.1177/01455613231159132
