Presentation
Primary external auditory canal wall cholesteatomas are usually present in the inferior portion of the canal lateral to the tympanic membrane. Small inclusion cysts are a common finding along incision lines after ear surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Dog Bite
This procedure allows the surgeon to modify ear shape, size and projection, working on congenital defects (like protruding ears) or trauma-induced flaws (i.e. car accidents, dog bites) or flaws from tumour removal. [mariodini.it]
Jaw & Teeth
- Metallic Taste
Shortly after surgery patient reported onset of dysgeusia consisting of metallic taste at the tip of the tongue and salty taste on the left side of the tongue. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
- Skin Ulcer
The operations resulted in no complications except 1 patient who developed a small skin ulcer on the left ear because of band pressure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Skin Discoloration
Some of the risks include: Bleeding (hematoma) Blood clots Asymmetry Infection Poor wound healing Change in skin sensation Skin contour irregularities Skin discoloration/swelling Anesthesia risks Unfavorable scarring Allergies to tape, suture materials [drstephenlovich.net]
Ears
- Cauliflower Ear
Otoplasty also includes ear/earlobe reduction and cauliflower ear surgery to remove and recontour excess skin and cartilage. [docshop.com]
Asymmetrical ears Cauliflower ear: Deformity in shape caused by injury or trauma to the ear. Very common with boxers. Protruding ears: Ears projected abnormally far from the head. [cosmeticplastics.com]
Cauliflower ear — An ear deformed by repeated trauma (injury) to the tissues as occurs to boxers and wrestlers; the name of deformity derives from its resemblance to a cauliflower. [en.wikipedia.org]
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV, is the most common inner ear problem and cause of vertigo, or false sense of spinning. [entnet.org]
Face, Head & Neck
- Narrow Face
A similar type of asymmetric development of the head and face features a relatively broad head, a narrow face, and a narrow mandible ; when observed from the front perspective, the head and face of the person present a triangular configuration. [en.wikipedia.org]
Psychiatrical
- Distractibility
Afterward, your ears will look more natural and will not distract from your appearance. Children and ear surgery: Although many adults pursue this procedure, it is also commonly elected by children and their parents. [grossmanplasticsurgery.com]
Neurologic
- Dizziness
Dizziness: Some patients experience dizziness that resolves within a day of surgery. It is not likely for dizziness to be a persistent problem. Facial paralysis: The nerve that innervates the muscle of the face courses through the ear. [marshfieldclinic.org]
Dizziness and tinnitus may result from surgery and paralysis or weakness of the muscles of the face may also occur as may disturbance of taste to one side of the tongue. These complications may be either temporary or permanent. [entuk.org]
There may be dizziness for a short period of time after surgery, but this is rarely permanent. Loss of taste on the side of the tongue that lasts a few weeks may occur, but may also be permanent. [plymouthent.com]
Frequent consequences include hearing loss, discharge from the ear, dizziness and earache. Particularly aggressive forms of middle ear inflammation (cholesteatoma) can even destroy solid bone, blood vessels and nerves. [acqua-klinik.de]
If you have pain in or around the ear, increased drainage, dizziness, twitching or numbness in your face or any other unusual developments, you need to call us immediately. [michiganear.com]
- Vertigo
A 38-year-old man presented to our hospital with vertigo and hearing loss (HL). His vertigo was induced by Valsalva maneuvers. Eight months ago, he underwent EAS for his right ear for congenital sensorineural HL. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is used for such conditions as otosclerosis or the insertion of grommets as well as some newer techniques of administering drugs to the inner ear in vertigo. [entuk.org]
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV, is the most common inner ear problem and cause of vertigo, or false sense of spinning. [entnet.org]

- Paresis
During follow-up, there were no wound infection, facial nerve paresis, scar formation, and inadvertent burn of the external canal and auricular skin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
X-Ray
- Atelectasis
According to this new hypothesis, retraction of the pars tensa of the tympanic membrane and atelectasis of Prussak’s space are two distinct independent phenomena leading to cholesteatoma [ 16 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Treatment with Amitriptyline 50mg each night significantly improved the patient's symptoms of dysgeusia. Amitriptyline may be an effective treatment for dysgeusia occurring after middle-ear surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
Whatever the etiology of cholesteatoma, scutumplasty with cartilage yielded good results in terms of prevention of postoperative retraction pockets. EES has several advantages as compared to traditional mastoidectomy. [intechopen.com]
Pathophysiology
We also discuss other cases of dystonia associated with vestibular lesions and with other reported triggers, and put these into the context of the possible pathophysiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
Increasingly used as an adjunctive tool in the diagnosis and management of ear disease, middle ear endoscopy has the potential to decrease patient morbidity, prevent disease recurrence, and reduce costs. [thieme.com]
Chlorhexidine is a common antiseptic used to prevent surgical infection. However, its exposure to the middle ear may lead to deafness. The mechanisms of the ototoxicity of chlorhexidine are reviewed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The ears reach full size at a young age, so it can be done early to prevent a child from the embarrassment of prominent or misshapen ears. [hkbsurgery.com]
