Primary Tuberculous Otitis Media: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
Tuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous disease that can affect any part of temporal bone. Primary tuberculous otitis media is a rare disease that is clinically variable and non-specific. Tuberculous otitis media may be diagnosed late, mainly because it is often not suspected. We present a case of a 23-year-old female with history of chronic tuberculous otitis media who underwent type I tympanoplasty 5 years back and presented with history of persistent painless ear discharge since 6 months. Patient was taken up for revision tympanoplasty along with cortical mastoidectomy. Intraoperative extensive granulations were found in mastoid region. Histopathological examination of granulation tissue suggested tuberculous otitis media. Patient did not have any other infective tuberculous foci in the body.
