Tinnitus Associated with Mild Osteomyelitis of the Temporal Bone Reversed after Conservative Antibiotic Treatment: A Case Series
<p>High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) results. The white arrow indicates the following: mucosa thickening and bony sequestration of air cells in the coronal view of Mr. H’s HRCT examination (<b>A</b>), mild opacification of the air cells along with the cortical bone and bony sequestration in the axial view of Ms. R’s HRCT examination (<b>B</b>), and soft tissue density in the middle ear cavity, mild opacification and bony sequestration of the mastoid air cells along with the cortical bone in the coronal view of Mrs. C’s HRCT examination (<b>C</b>).</p> "> Figure 2
<p>Depiction of the baseline (<b>A</b>–<b>C</b>) and follow-up (<b>D</b>–<b>F</b>) pure tone audiometry (PTA) results. In the PTA, the Right ear is present in Red color, while the Left ear is present in Blue color. In general, the PTA revealed mild improvements in the standard audiogram and high-frequency audiogram in the right ear and the standard audiogram of the left ear of Mr. H (<b>A</b>,<b>D</b>). In case of Ms. R it showed mild improvements in the standard audiogram and high-frequency audiogram of the left ear (<b>B</b>,<b>E</b>). It also revealed improvements in the standard audiogram and high-frequency audiogram of the left ear and the standard audiogram of the right ear in case of Ms. C (<b>C</b>,<b>F</b>). O: right ear unmasked air conduction; △: right ear masked air conduction; X: left ear unmasked air conduction; □: left ear unmasked air conduction; < >: right/left unmasked bone conduction; [ ]: right/left masked air conduction.</p> ">
