Otorrhea

We present a very rare case with bilateral AICA presenting with pulsatile middle ear discharge from his left ear and left sided conductive hearing loss. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

All female patients had a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 mg/kg. [9] The most common presenting symptom was otorrhea after a myringotomy or placement of a tympanostomy tube. [9] In some rare presentation of spontaneous CSF otorrhoea, it can be presented [indianjotol.org]

This occurs in 10%–30% of skull base fractures and most often presents with rhinorrhea (80% of cases) in the setting of frontobasal fracture [59,60]. However, it may present with otorrhea in the setting of temporal bone fracture. [tripdatabase.com]

Children with acute otitis media also present with restlessness, irritability, loss of appetite and may be seen constantly interfering with the ear. [healthhype.com]
