  He had severe weakness and pain in his neck. Troubled and anxious about his health condition, he consulted few of the reputed ENT doctors. [parashospitals.com]

  This condition is characterized by ipsilateral abducens nerve palsy, pain in the region of the first and second divisions of the trigeminal nerve and symptoms of acute otitis media [1]. [austinpublishinggroup.com]

  The triad of retroorbital pain, lateral rectus (CN VI palsy), and otorrhea is pathognomic for petrous apicitis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Glasscock7 pointed out that retrocular pain in patients with otitis media is a warning sign, differently from otalgia, which may also affect otitis media patients without complications or post-radical mastoidectomy. [oldfiles.bjorl.org]

  The most common indicator of this ailment is constant deep otalgia that is characteristically worse at night and persists despite multiple courses of antibiotic therapy. [jdrntruhs.org]

  Other associated symptoms/signs include (in approximate order of frequency): Otalgia. Fever. Confusion, impaired consciousness or coma. Other cranial nerve palsies, particularly trigeminal, facial and vestibulocochlear. [patient.info]
