    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.
