Study Notes
Acute Suppurative Otitis Media
- A 17-year-old girl presented with severe left ear pain, hearing loss, and headache after suffering from acute respiratory infections.
- Otoscopic examination revealed a hyperemic and bulging left eardrum with a perforation point.
- This clinical presentation strongly suggests acute suppurative otitis media, an infection of the middle ear.
Laryngeal Papilloma
- A 7-year-old boy exhibited shortness of breath and hoarseness, with a clear voice when crying in high tones and a resonant cough.
- This suggests the presence of laryngeal papillomas, benign growths that can obstruct the airway.
- The recommended treatment for laryngeal papillomas is endolaryngeal removal of the formations to improve airway patency.
Rhinogenic Sepsis
- Rhinogenic sepsis is the most likely complication of a rhinogenic infection, which is a bacterial infection that originates in the nasal cavity.
- Rhinogenic sepsis is a serious condition where bacteria from the nasal cavity enter the bloodstream and spread throughout the body, causing a systemic infection.
