  2. Inner ear decompression sickness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_ear_decompression...

    Gas bubble formation in blood vessels causes obstruction and inflammation, and platelet aggregation may occur. [11] In more solid tissues there may be mechanical damage, and the presence of mobile bubbles in the fluids of the inner ear may cause abnormal stimuli. The pathogenesis remains elusive, [13] and may have more than one mechanism ...

  3. Reflex syncope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflex_syncope

    The underlying mechanism involves the nervous system slowing the heart rate and dilating blood vessels, resulting in low blood pressure and thus not enough blood flow to the brain. [2] Diagnosis is based on the symptoms after ruling out other possible causes. [3] Recovery from a reflex syncope episode happens without specific treatment. [2]

  4. Ear drop - Wikipedia

    The study showed that a topical pain medication was helpful while waiting for an oral pain medication to be effective. [26] There is another small study conducted in England and Wales that reported that an analgestic-anesthetics could reduce the amount of antibiotics being used in children.

  5. Middle ear barotrauma - Wikipedia

    Stretching of the eardrum to a lesser extent can also cause damage, including engorged blood vessels which exude serum into the surrounding tissues and cause inflammation. increased pressure difference will cause blood vessels to rupture, which may bleed into or inside of the membrane. [2]

  6. Bullous myringitis hemorrhagica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullous_myringitis...

    Diagnosing bullous myringitis involves using an otoscope to spot distinctive white sack-like structures on the eardrum.Ear pain is the primary complaint. However, differentiating it from acute otitis media can be difficult, leading to early misdiagnosis.The rarity of bullous myringitis, especially compared to acute otitis media, can result in common misdiagnoses.

  7. Hemotympanum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemotympanum

    Hemotympanum refers to the presence of blood in the middle ear, which is the area behind the eardrum. In most cases, the blood is trapped behind the eardrum, so no discharge is visible. Treating hemotympanum depends on the underlying cause.

  8. Barotrauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barotrauma

    Barotrauma is physical damage to body tissues caused by a difference in pressure between a gas space inside, or in contact with, the body and the surrounding gas or liquid. [1] [2] The initial damage is usually due to over-stretching the tissues in tension or shear, either directly by an expansion of the gas in the closed space or by pressure difference hydrostatically transmitted through the ...
