The causes found were chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) 90.9%, acute suppurative otitis media (ASOM) 6.1%, and trauma to the affected ear 3.0%.
The tympanic membrane is thin and semi-transparent with a pearly, gray appearance. It is composed of three layers: An outer, epithelial (ectodermal)layer; a middle, fibrous layer; and an inner, mucosal(endodermal) layer that is continuous with the squamous lining of the middle ear cavity.
A ruptured eardrum (tympanic membrane perforation) is a hole or tear in the thin tissue that separates the ear canal from the middle ear (eardrum). A ruptured eardrum can result in hearing loss. It can also make the middle ear vulnerable to infections.
Numbering the four quadrants on the images of the tympanic membrane (TM): 1, anterosuperior; 2, anteroinferior; 3, posteroinferior; 4, posterosuperior.
