  • the use of the Weber tuning fork Test and scratch Test in postoperative tympanomastoid surgery
    Clinical Otolaryngology, 2006
    Co-Authors: J R Buckland, M Geyer, N Maleki, T E Mitchell
    Abstract:

    Objective.  To compare the use of the Weber tuning fork Test and ‘Scratch Test’ in postoperative patients following tympanomastoid surgery. Method.  Prospective cohort study with control group. Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust. Secondary care. 19 patients undergoing routine tympanomastoid surgery for middle ear disease and 18 patients undergoing translabyrinthine surgery for lateral skull base lesions. Main Outcome Measures.  Localisation of Weber tuning fork. Positive or negative Scratch Test: clinician applies a gentle scratch using index finger to the bandage over the operated ear. Postoperative pure tone audiometry. Results.  In the context of diagnosing a hearing or non-hearing ear, the Weber Test had a specificity of 78% and sensitivity of 100%. The scratch Test had a specificity of 100% and sensitivity of 100%. The Weber was 93% specific and 93% sensitive for diagnosing a unilateral conductive hearing loss. Conclusions.  As a means of diagnosing an acute postoperative dead ear the Scratch Test is an accurate alternative to the Weber Test. References 1 Miltenburg D.M.

  • recurrent streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis and mondini dysplasia association or causation
    Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2019
    Co-Authors: Indar Kumar Sharawat, Ananthanarayanan Kasinathan, Guru P Peruri, Akshay Kumar Saxena, Arushi Gahlot Saini, Naveen Sankhyan, Paramjeet Singh
    Abstract:

    Abstract Mondini dysplasia is a developmental disorder of the inner ear structures and it is a rare cause of recurrent bacterial meningitis in children. A 10-year-old boy presented with acute febrile encephalopathy and right ear pain. In the past, he had suffered from two distinct episodes of pyogenic meningitis. On examination, he had signs of meningeal irritation and right ear sensorineural deafness. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and computerized tomography of the temporal bone was suggestive of Mondini dysplasia in the right ear. Our case highlights the need for (a) screening of hearing loss at the bedside by Rinne and Weber Test in case of recurrent bacterial meningitis (b) searching for an underlying inner ear malformation if there is a hearing loss.
