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.
Unspecified disorder of tympanic membrane, bilateral The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H73. 93 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of H73.
Information: A central perforation is a perforation in the pars tensa that leaves an intact portion of the tympanic membrane between the rim of the perforation and the bony canal. The fibrous annulus, the tickened portion of the TM near the bony canal, is also intact.
Attic perforation of the eardrum This is a perforation in the superior part of the eardrum. This is sometimes referred to as an attic perforation. A perforation in this location may be associated with a deep retraction pocket or cholesteatoma into the mastoid.
The tympanic membrane is also called the eardrum. It separates the outer ear from the middle ear. When sound waves reach the tympanic membrane they cause it to vibrate. The vibrations are then transferred to the tiny bones in the middle ear.
01: Otalgia, right ear.
The type of perforation seen were central 57.6%, subtotal 33.3%, total 6.1%, marginal 3.0%. The sides affected were left ear 45.5%, right ear 15.2%, and both ears 39.4%. 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%.
Infection is the principal cause of tympanic membrane perforation (TMP). Acute infection of the middle ear may cause a relative ischemia in the drum concurrent with increased pressure in the middle ear space. This leads to a tear or rupture of the eardrum that is usually preceded by severe pain.
A number of things can cause the eardrum to rupture; one of the most common causes is an ear infection. When the middle ear is infected, pressure builds up and pushes against the eardrum.
Most tympanic membrane perforations (TMPs) are diagnosed using routine otoscopy. Small perforations may require otomicroscopy for identification. Some hearing screening programs include middle ear impedance testing. Screening tympanometry may reveal abnormalities consistent with perforation.
The drum membrane has three layers: the outer layer, continuous with the skin on the external canal; the inner layer, continuous with the mucous membrane lining the middle ear; and, between the two, a layer of radial and circular fibres that give the membrane its tension and stiffness.
In human ear: Middle-ear cavity. The cavity of the middle ear is a narrow air-filled space. A slight constriction divides it into an upper and a lower chamber, the tympanum (tympanic cavity) proper below and the epitympanum above. These chambers are also referred to as the atrium and the attic, respectively.
A torn (perforated) eardrum is not usually serious and often heals on its own without any complications. Complications sometimes occur such as hearing loss and infection in the middle ear. A small procedure to repair a perforated eardrum is an option if it does not heal by itself, especially if you have hearing loss.
Most ruptured (perforated) eardrums heal without treatment within a few weeks. Your provider may prescribe antibiotic drops if there's evidence of infection. If the tear or hole in the eardrum doesn't heal by itself, treatment will likely involve procedures to close the tear or hole.
Often, no specific treatment is needed. The ear should be kept dry; routine antibiotic ear drops are unnecessary. However, prophylaxis with oral broad-spectrum antibiotics or antibiotic ear drops is necessary if contaminants may have entered through the perforation as occurs in dirty injuries.
MARGINAL AND ATTIC PERFORATIONS (THE UNSAFE EAR) When either a marginal or attic perforation is seen, this is an unsafe situation. A marginal perforation is one where the hole reaches the annulus of the ear drum.
H72.91 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of unspecified perforation of tympanic membrane, right ear. The code H72.91 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code H72.91 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like perforation of right tympanic membrane, perforation of tympanic membrane due to otitis media or rupture of right tympanic membrane due to otitis media.#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like H72.91 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
Ear barotrauma is an injury to your ear because of changes in barometric (air) or water pressure. Some ear disorders can result in hearing disorders and deafness. Aural polyps (Medical Encyclopedia) Benign ear cyst or tumor (Medical Encyclopedia)
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code H72.91 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Information for Patients. Ear Disorders. Your ear has three main parts: outer, middle and inner. You use all of them in hearing. Sound waves come in through your outer ear. They reach your middle ear, where they make your eardrum vibrate.
You use all of them in hearing. Sound waves come in through your outer ear. They reach your middle ear, where they make your eardrum vibrate. The vibrations are transmitted through three tiny bones, called ossicles, in your middle ear. The vibrations travel to your inner ear, a snail-shaped organ.

The vibrations travel to your inner ear, a snail-shaped organ. The inner ear makes the nerve impulses that are sent to the brain. Your brain recognizes them as sounds. The inner ear also controls balance.
