đŸĻģ CHOLESTEATOMA | SOMedEd

Cholesteatoma is a collection of keratinizing squamous epithelium in the middle ear. It is not malignant but is locally destructive.

Usually follows chronic otitis media or a retraction pocket where skin gets trapped.

âš™ī¸ Key pathology
Expands and erodes bone
Affects ossicles, mastoid air cells, sometimes facial nerve

👂 Clinical features
Foul-smelling chronic ear discharge
Painless progressive conductive hearing loss
Ear fullness

🔍 Diagnosis
Otoscopy: pearly white mass
CT temporal bone: bone erosion

🛠 Treatment
Surgical removal

🚨 Complications
Conductive hearing loss
Mastoiditis
Facial nerve palsy
Intracranial infection

â­ī¸ Key clue
Chronic foul-smelling discharge + painless hearing loss = cholesteatoma until proven otherwise

đŸĻģ LARYNGOMALACIA | SOMedEd

đŸĻģ Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of inspiratory stridor in infants.

It occurs due to collapse of the supraglottic tissues during inspiration, leading to noisy breathing that typically worsens when the baby is supine and improves when prone.

📌 Laryngoscopy may show the classic omega-shaped epiglottis (Ω).

Most cases are mild and resolve spontaneously by 18 months with reassurance and close follow-up. Concurrent gastroesophageal reflux should also be managed when present.
