History of A Patient with Positive Ear Pressure Tympanometry
Düzeltme Notu
Öz
We presented a rare case of positive middle ear pressure in tympanometry. 27 years old male patient complained about his bilateral ears fullness for 3 months. He said that it had increased after a travel by plane abroad. On physical examination he had bilateral normal ear findings. He had a septal deviation with acute rhino sinusitis . His nasopharynx was natural. His pure tone audiometry and speech audiometry resulted minimal conductive type hearing loss. Tympanometry test results were right ear peak was measured as +124 daPa and 1.82 ml Left ear peak was +110 daPa and 1.75 ml peak was measured. He received medical treatment.Chronic Positive middle ear pressure in tympanometry test result is very rare. Bulging of ears typically starts at + 125 daPa. Patient medical history usually as similar as Eustachian tube dysfunction. However, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, used in the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), should be kept in mind.
