Tuberculous Otitis Media: Case Report
SUMMARY
Tuberculous otitis media is a rare condition in the developed countries. It is hard to diagnose because it can be confused with other middle ear
diseases. Tuberculous otitis media should be kept in mind when middle
ear infections do not respond to standard medications. Early diagnosis
and treatment prevents the complications and limits the disease. In early
stages, antituberculous therapy is effective and surgery rarely needed. A
47 year old man attended our department with a persistant left ear
otorhea that did not respond to local and systemic antibiotics, hearing
loss, and a ten day long left facial paralysis. The patient was thought to
be complicated chronic otitis media and operated. The hystopathologic
examination of the materials taken from the middle ear in the operation
was reported as ìtuberculosis granulomaî. We reported a case of
tuberculous otitis media and discussed the diagnosis and treatment
procedures by reviewing the literature. Key words: Tuberculous Otitis Media, Middle Ear Infection, Hearing
