Tuberculous Otitis Media with Facial Paralysis-Case Report and Review of Literature
Journal Title: Otolaryngology Open Access Journal - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Tuberculous otitis media is characterised by non-specific symptoms. Its diagnosis is confirmed with histological and gene amplification tests. We present a case report of a patient presenting with an ear discharge and facial nerve paralysis who was treated with facial nerve decompression and anti-tubercular treatment. The objective of this report is to create awareness about tuberculous otitis media and that it should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic otitis media.
