dc.description.abstract | Considerable variation exists between the clinical presentation of tuberculous otitis media (TOM) seen nowadays and what was described earlier. Confusing clinical picture and subsequent delay in diagnosis of TOM permits it to progress unhindered and results in permanent disabling conditions like facial paralysis and profound hearing loss. Hence an early diagnosis of TOM and timely commencement of appropriate therapy remains a challenging task. A high index of suspicion is required on part of the clinician to diagnose this fabled entity. | en_US |
