Outer ear section has place for “Click here for Photos”
Eardrum and Middle Ear has place for “Click here for Photos”
Mastoid section has pictures of mastoiditis (click on “mastoid disease”)
This website shows common problems in the outer ear (auricle), ear canal (external auditory canal), the eardrum, and the middle ear (air space behind the eardrum which allows the eardrum to vibrate). It also shows the mastoid disease.
The website shows pictures of outer ear and ear canal common problems such as acute otitis externa (an acute bacterial infection usually caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa), ear tick (a tick imbedded in the ear canal that should be removed as soon as it is diagnosed), …show more content…
According to our notes, Hurler’s syndrome is autosomal recessive; it affects both genders; it causes early changes in infant’s normal appearance; it causes a child to have metabolism or storage problem, growth deficiency, progressive mental retardation, progressive coarsening of facial features, corneal clouding, progressive hearing loss (conductive or mixed), and middle ear disorders. Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is also autosomal recessive, and it causes affected children to have cardiovascular disorder and profound congenital sensorineural hearing loss in both …show more content…
The article, “Early Prenatal Diagnosis of Hurler's Syndrome with Termination of Pregnancy and Confirmatory Findings on the Fetus” by Crawfurd at al. published in J Med Genet in 1973 reported that a Hurler's syndrome was diagnosed in an 18 week old fetus of a woman and the fetus was aborted. My personal comment on this is that, although the abortion was made for clinical exploration of the syndrome, we cannot deny the fact that the mother consented for it since the baby would not live longer anyways. It has now become a practice in the medical field to suggest termination of a pregnancy if the baby has defects and has the potential of not surviving normal after birth. I just have a personal biased position on this
