  Tinnitus and vertigo can also occur concurrently or independent of the hearing loss. [californiaearinstitute.com]

  2013/17/6/1128/122649 Sir, A 55-year-old male diabetic patient presented to the ENT clinic with symptoms of severe earache and dizziness that progressively increased over 3 weeks. He also had low grade fever for the last 5 days. [ijem.in]

  All were treated well with antibiotics. [3] In one of the reports published by Damle et al ., [5] the patient had low grade fever in addition to headache, earache, and dizziness. [jdrntruhs.org]

  Dizziness or low-grade imbalance is quite common. Severe rotatory vertigo may be due to erosion of the balance organ (labyrinthine fistula). [entsho.com]

Part III presents differential diagnostic points that help the clinician decide on the cause and treatment of the patient's problem. Part IV is a new section on the symptomatic treatment of vertigo. [books.google.de]

Treatment includes correction of immunosuppression (when possible), local treatment of the auditory canal, long-term systemic antibiotic therapy and, in selected patients, surgery. [aafp.org]

Treatment and prognosis In many instances treatment with appropriate intravenous antibiotics suffices. In more severe cases surgical drainage may be required 4. [radiopaedia.org]

Prognosis Formerly, the prognosis was very poor with death a common occurrence. [patient.info]

Cranial nerve involvement indicates a poor prognosis. [aafp.org]

Antituberculosis drugs dramatically improve the prognosis in most patients. For complete cure, drug therapy should be taken for at least 6 months. [indianjotol.org]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

[…] the underlying etiology. [icd10data.com]

The next question to be asked would be where the anatomical lesion is and what the etiologies are. The highest level for multiple cranial nerve palsies would be in the brain stem. [cjhr.org]

Etiology: - trauma most common - defective development of the lamina cribrosa - congenitally wide cochlear aqueduct with communication of CSF with perilymph Endolymphatic hydrops Symptoms: sensorineural hearing loss and vertigo Source: can be congenital [spinwarp.ucsd.edu]

The etiology of the MMA pseudoaneurysm was postulated to be from the patient's chronic malignant otitis externa and chronic mastoid osteomyelitis. [cureus.com]

An awareness of its existence and appropriate levels of suspicion of the condition are necessary to prevent severe damage or death in those affected. [ 2, 3 ] Epidemiology There are no reliable recent figures. [patient.info]

Epidemiology Frequency Petrous apicitis was commonly encountered before the introduction of antibiotics. It now appears quite rarely. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Acute, Subacute, and Chronic Osteomyelitis Both acute and chronic osteomyelitis are essentially always bordered by soft tissue swelling. 1, 4 The typical inflammatory morphology of this soft tissue reaction is discussed in conjunction with the basic pathophysiology [radiologykey.com]

Pathophysiology Because of the extensive pneumatization and presence of rich bone marrow within the petrous apex, it is susceptible to infection or inflammation, typically in combination with mastoiditis. [emedicine.medscape.com]
