Abstract

This chapter discusses about the common and uncommon conditions, ENT emergencies, and syndromes in otorhinolaryngology. Congested and bulging ear drum is one of the most common emergencies in a child, where enlarged adenoids, vomitus and milk may block the tubes. The waves representing the complete auditory pathway give the pathway from auditory nerve to brainstem, and should be done only for high-risk babies and adoption candidates. Types of hearing loss is due to wax, fungus, otitis externa in external ear, otitis media, perforation of drum in middle ear, and meningitis or genetic disorders in inner ear. Branchial fistula is managed by developmental arch abnormality, treating recurrent pus discharge with antibiotics, and surgical excision of the complete tract for recurrent infections or abscess formations. Hemangioma is managed by congenital condition and local injections of bleomycin at weekly intervals are the treatment of choice.
