| dc.description.abstract | Otitis media is an inflammation of the middle ear cavity, which includes the tympanum,
tympanic bulla, and eustachian tube. Otitis media can be caused by a number of
infectious and non-infectious factors. Many cases of otitis media appear to be ignored
because an inspection of the external ear canal is sometimes insufficient when otitis
externa is visible. Otitis media is often the outcome of chronic otitis externa spreading
through a damaged tympanic membrane. In the paper, the aetiological factors, the
pathogenesis, the clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment will be reviewed, as well as
patient information from the caseload in 2020 of the Department and Clinic of Internal
Medicine of University of Veterinary Medicine, Budapest. | en_US |
