Tympanic Paraganglioma With Extension Into the Eustachian Tube and Nasopharynx: A Case Report

چکیده
Tympanic paragangliomas usually present as a vascular middle ear mass, with the most common presenting symptoms being pulsatile tinnitus and hearing loss. We report an unusual case of a recurrent tympanic paraganglioma extending along the Eustachian tube and nasopharynx, presenting with recurrent epistaxis. Paraganglioma timpánico con extensión a trompa de Eustaquio y nasofaringe: a propósito de un caso Resumen Los paragangliomas timpánicos suelen presentarse como una masa hipervascular en oído medio, siendo los síntomas de presentación más frecuentes acúfeno pulsátil e hipoacu-sia. Presentamos un caso infrecuente de recidiva de paraganglioma timpánico con extensión a trompa de Eustaquio y nasofaringe, que debutó con epistaxis recurrente.

متن کاملPREVALENCE OF TRAUMATIC TYMPANIC MEMBRANE PERFORATION IN PATIENTS WITH A PATULOUS EUSTACHIAN TUBE
Background: With respect to physical relations in force and pressure, we hypothesized that the prevalence of traumatic tympanic membrane perforation in patients with a patulous Eustachian tube is greater than normal, because in Eustachian tube patency, the internal air pressure of the middle ear will not increase after compression, subsequent to trauma. Therefore the force upon the tympanic...
متن کاملImaging Finding of Malignant Melanoma of Eustachian Tube with Extension to Middle Ear Cavity: Case Report
We report a case of malignant melanoma of Eustachian tube with extension to the middle ear cavity and nasopharynx in a 51-year-old woman who presented with right ear fullness. Computed tomography showed a soft tissue mass in the middle ear cavity and caused the widening and eroding of the bony eustachian tube. Magnetic resonance imaging showed well enhancing mass in eustachian tube extending na...
متن کاملInflammatory polyp in the middle ear of a dog: a case report
Nasopharyngeal polyps are non-neoplastic masses, originating from the mucosa of the nasopharynx, the tympanic bulla or the Eustachian tube. Inflammatory polyps extending into the tympanic bulla cavity are a common cause of otitis media in cats. In dogs, however, occurrence of middle ear polyps has rarely been reported. The present report describes the findings of the clinical examination, diagn...
متن کاملMorphology and Ciliary Motion of Mucosa in the Eustachian Tube of Neonatal and Adult Gerbils
The Eustachian tube is a small canal that connects the tympanic cavity with the nasal part of the pharynx. The epithelial lining of the Eustachian tube contains a ciliated columnar epithelium at the tympanic cavity and a pseudostratified, ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells near the pharynx. The tube serves to equalize air pressure across the eardrum and drains mucus away from the mi...
