Actinomycosis of Middle Ear and Mastoid Presenting as Acute Otitis Media with Mastoiditis- A Case Report.

Actinomycosis is an uncommon infection of the middle ear.Actinomycosis of ear can mimic other common diagnosis of middle ear. The treatment of actinomycosis of the middle ear differs from that of otitis media caused by aerobic bacteria, therefore an accurate diagnosis is necessary.

Cross-Sectional Study to Estimate the Prevalence of Inner-Ear Anomalies in Children With Congenital Sensorineural Hearing Loss by High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) Temporal Bone Scan.

Background Congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the most common birth defects with an incidence ratio of 1:1000 live births in India. Imaging plays an important role in the evaluation of congenital SNHL. As there is a paucity of studies in the Indian setting to determine the prevalence of inner-ear abnormalities, this study attempts to throw light on the various inner-ear anomalies that are prevalent in our setup in the Northern part of Karnataka using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) temporal bone scan.
