Title: Disorders of the Ear, Nose, Throat


1
Disorders of the Ear, Nose, Throat Mouth
  • Chapter 10
  • Medical Considerations

2
EARS
  • Otitis Externa- a painful inflammation of the
    membranous lining of the auditory canal and/or
    contiguous structures.
  • Refers to acute and chronic inflammatory process
  • It may be diffuse or localized
  • Is largely benign and self-limiting
  • Invasive otitis externa is a potentially life
    threatneing situation

3
EARS
  • OE continued
  • Epidemiology
  • 10-20 more common in the summer months
  • Patho- inflammation is most commonly caused by
    microbial infection. Colonization of the
    external ear is prevented immune and anatomic
    mechanisms

4
EARS
  • OE patho continued
  • Squamous epithelia of the canal constantly
    slough, while hair follicles sweep laterally,
    cleaning and act as a barrier. The canal
    maintains an acidic pH and repels moisture and
    the presence of normal flora inhibit the
    overgrowth of virulent bacteria. If any of this
    is broken compromised there may be colonization
    by bacteria

5
EARS
  • OE patho continued
  • Bacteria
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa is most common of diffuse
    infections and most cases of invasive OE
  • Staphylococcus aureus typically causes a
    localized infection from a hair follicle
  • Streptococcus pyogenes associated with local
    infection presenting as folliculitis
  • Polymicrobial infection found in up to 1/3 of
    cases of diffuse disease

6
EARS
  • OE patho continued
  • Other causes of OE
  • Fungal agents
  • Aspergillus niger- usually local infection, but
    can cause invasive infection
  • Pityrosporum
  • Candida albicans
  • Hyperkeratotic processes
  • Eczema, psoriasis, seborrheic, or contact
    dermatitis

7
EARS
  • OE
  • Necrotizing Otis externa is the most severe
    infectious form of OE
  • Bacterial infection extends from the skin of
    canal into soft tissue or bone
  • Cranial nerves may be involved
  • Pseudomonas is most common

8
EAR
  • OE
  • Presenting complaints
  • severe ear pain (otalgia) of sudden or acute
    onset
  • Pain worse at night
  • Worse with pulling on the pinna or earlobe or
    pushing on tragus
  • Severe cases- pain with chewing
  • May have purulent discharge may be noted
  • Chronic OM
  • May present with dryness and itching

9
EAR
  • Otitis Media (OM)
  • Physical findings
  • Tenderness with palpation
  • Otoscopic exam- canal appears swollen and red
    with drainage with bacterial infections
  • Diffuse cases present with complete involvement
  • Localized cases present with focal lesion
  • Pseudomonas produces a copious green exudate
  • Staphylococcal produces yellow crusting in
    purulent exudate
  • Fungal infections presents as a fluffy, white or
    black malodorous growth
  • Except in invasive disease there is no
    lymphadenopathy
  • TMJ pain indicates invasive disease

10
EAR
  • OE
  • Diagnostic testing
  • Rarely needed
  • Cultures may be done of discharge if indicated in
    healthy patients
  • CT or MRI may be needed if suspect invasive
    disease

11
EARS
  • OE
  • Differential DX
  • OM
  • TMJ
  • Dental disease
  • Trigeminal or glossopharyngeal neuralgia
  • Parotitis
  • Impetigo
  • Herpes zoster
  • Insect bites
  • Mastoiditis
  • Rupture of membrane
  • Excessive cerumen buildup (wax)

12
EARS
  • Management and Treatments
  • Pain meds
  • Heat or ice
  • Keep dry- no swimming for 7 days
  • Treatment for basic OE
  • Irrigation if indicated
  • Pain drops
  • Antibiotic drops
  • Ciprodex, Floxin Cortisporin
  • May need a wick if very swollen

13
EARS
  • Otitis Media- OM- inflammation of the structures
    in the middle ear.
  • Otitis media with effusion OME involves the
    transudation of plasma from middle ear blood
    vessels leading to chronic fluid this can be
    chronic
  • Acute Otitis Media-AOM is infection in the middle
    ear

14
EARS
  • OM
  • Epidemiology
  • Accounts for 2-3 of all family practice office
    visits. Number of visits increases in the
    winter. More common in colder weather and in
    children.
  • Contributing factors include allergies,
    rhinitis, pharyngitis due to swelling of upper
    airway membranes. Most common factor is upper
    airway infections (colds), caused by many
    different viruses.
  • Influenza, RSV, pneumovirus, adenovirus

15
EARS
  • OM
  • Patho-bacterial infection (or viral) by
    nasopharyngeal microorganisms follows eustachian
    tube dysfunction in which the isthmus becomes
    obstructed. Inflammation results in response to
    the bacterial products such as endotoxins,
    creating infection behind the tympanic membrane
    in the middle ear

16
EARS
  • OME
  • Patho- caused by collection of plasma fluid from
    engorged blood vessels resulting from the loss of
    Eustachian tube patency, either from swelling of
    the lining or direct blockage
  • Pathogens
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae,
    Moraxella catarrhalis are most common. Less
    common are streptococcus pyogenes and aureus
  • Up to ½ are viral

17
EARS
  • OME symptoms
  • Stuffiness, fullness, decreased hearing, pain is
    rare, may have popping. Rarely vertigo
  • Usually a history of recent URI, allergies

18
EARS
  • AOM- symptoms
  • Deep pain, fever, sometimes decreased hearing,
    discharge with a perf, sometimes dizziness or
    ringing in the ear
  • Recurrent AOM means there is clearing of the
    infection between episodes
  • Chronic OM- presents with history of repeated
    bouts of AOM followed by effusion with hearing
    loss being the biggest concern

19
EARS
  • Diagnostic Tests
  • Tests are rarely needed. Should use pneumatic
    otoscopy. Tympanogram may be helpful otitis with
    effusion. Cultures are rarely done, but are
    helpful. X-ray or CT of sinuses or of mastoid
    area maybe indicated. CBC with severe illness
    maybe indicated. Hearing tests are needed in
    some cases or at follow-up

20
EARS
  • Otitis Management/Follow-up
  • OM
  • If over 2 years, watchful waiting for three days
  • If present longer than three days treat for most
    common organism
  • Recheck children in 2-3 weeks, adults if pain or
    other symptoms return
  • OME
  • Watchful waiting is indicated, recheck every 4-6
    weeks for 3-4 months
  • Steroids are sometimes used for 7 days
  • Nasal steroids used more often for 3 months
  • Rarely an antibiotic is tried

21
Rhinitis
  • Rhinitis or coryza inflammation of the nasal
    mucosa with congestion, rhinorrhea, sneezing,
    pruritus, post nasal drip
  • Allergic
  • Seasonal or perennial
  • Nonallergic
  • Infectious, irritant related, vasomotor,
    hormone-related, associated with medication, or
    atrophic
  • May be chronic or acute
  • Most common types
  • Viral
  • Perennial (hay fever)

22
Rhinitis
  • Epidemiology/Causes
  • Actual prevalence is undocumented, but is very
    common
  • Occurs at least as much as the common cold
  • Estimated 40-50 million American adults suffer
  • Seasonal allergic rhinitis parallels pollen
    production fall/spring
  • Allergy occurs in all age groups
  • Most common in adults 30-40 years
  • Non allergic rhinitis may be acute or chronic
  • Chronic maybe associated with bacterial sinusitis

23
Rhinitis
  • Epidemiology/Causes
  • Atrophic rhinitis affects older adults, but
    symptoms may begin in the teens
  • VIRAL URIs are more frequent in families with
    young children
  • Exposure to offending allergens is the main risk
    factor of allergic rhinitis
  • Vasomotor rhinitis is aggravated by low humidity,
    sudden temperature or pressure change, cold air,
    strong odors, stress, smoke
  • Certain drugs may precipitate rhinitis- ACE,
    beta-adrenergic antagonists, some
    anti-inflammatory agents, even asa

24
Rhinitis
  • Rhinitis Patho
  • Viral
  • Viral replication in the nasopharynx with varying
    degrees of nasotracheal inflammation. Associated
    with viral upper respiratory tract infection
    (COLD)
  • Etiologic agents
  • Rhinovirus, influenza, parainfluenza, respiratory
    syncytial, coronavirus, adenovirus, echovirus,
    coxsackievirus
  • Most rhinosinusitis is viral
  • Bacterial super-infection rarely occurs

25
Rhinitis
  • Rhinitis Patho continued
  • Allergic rhinitis
  • Type I hypersensitivity to airborne irritants
    affecting the eyes, nose, sinuses, throat, and
    bronchi
  • Antibodies bind to eosinophils and basophils in
    the bloodstream and the mucosal mast cells.
    These leukocytes degranulate, releasing chemo
    inflammatory substances including histamine,
    leukotrienes, prostaglandin's, slow-reacting
    substance of anaphylaxis, and erythrocyte
    chemotactic factor, resulting in increased
    vasodilatation, capillary permeability, mucus
    production, smooth muscle contraction and
    eosinophilia
  • May also be caused by food allergies

26
Rhinitis
  • Rhinitis Patho continued
  • Vasomotor rhinitis is chronic, noninfectious
    process of unknown etiology, characterized by
    periods of abnormal autonomic responsiveness and
    vascular engorgement unrelated so specific
    allergens
  • Causes include- hormonal changes, medication
    overuse, bacterial infection-which can cause
    atrophic rhinitis

27
Rhinitis
  • Rhinitis symptoms
  • Viral-malaise, HA, substernal tightness, rare
    fever, sneezing and coughing
  • Allergic-itching of all upper air way mucosa,
    watery eyes, sore throat, sneezing, coughing
  • Vasomotor-watery nasal discharge, nasal speech,
    mouth breathing, nasal obstruction that switches
    sides

28
Rhinitis
  • Rhinitis objective findings
  • Viral- nasal mucosa appears erythematous, throat
    will appear erythematous and edematous, external
    nose may appear erythematous, with a crease
    across the nose (allergic salute). May have
    swollen turbinates and tonsils. On palpation, the
    nasal mucosa appear friable.
  • With a secondary bacterial infection the
    discharge may be green/yellow in adults only.
    Color is children does not matter

29
Rhinitis
  • Allergic mucosa are pale, boggy (swollen) and
    may look bluish. Yellowish, gray or red mucosa
    may also be seen. Polyps of various colors may
    be seen with chronic perennial rhinitis.
    Conjunctivae are inflamed with palpebral
    conjunctiva and cobble-stoned in appearance.
    Dark circles under the eyes (allergic shiners)
    may be seen. Wrinkles across the bridge of the
    nose may be seen.

30
Rhinitis
  • Vasomotor rhinitis- nasal mucosa will be anywhere
    from bright red to bluish with swollen turbinates
  • Atrophic rhinitis appear crusted with dried mucus
    or blood from repeated bouts of epistasis.

31
Rhinitis
  • Treatments
  • Allergic rhinitis
  • Avoid the triggers
  • Antihistamines
  • Allegra, Claritin, Clarinex, Zyrtec, Astelin
  • Nasal steroids
  • Flonase, Nasonex, Nasacort
  • Leukotriene receptor antagonists
  • Singular
  • Desensitizing immunotherapy
  • Atrophic- bacitracin to nares, saline, irrigation

32
Rhinitis
  • Rhinitis follow up
  • Recheck as needed
  • Advise patient of possible complications and
    their symptoms to indicate need for follow up
  • OM, sinusitis, high fevers, restless sleeping,
    asthma, allergic attacks
  • Referral as needed to allergist for skin testing
  • Referral to an ENT as needed

33
Rhinitis
  • Rhinitis patient education
  • Avoid exposures
  • People with URI, environmental irritants
  • Windows doors kept closed, use a HEPA filter air
    clearer, consider pets outside, clean for mold
    and dust mites, cover bedding for dust
    mitesdusting

34
Sinusitis
  • Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucous
    membranes of one or more of the paranasal
    sinuses frontal, sphenoid, posterior ethmoid,
    anterior ethmoid, and maxillary
  • Acute-abrupt onset of infection and
    post-therapeutic resolution lasting no more than
    four weeks
  • Subacute with a purulent nasal discharge persist
    despite therapy, lasting 4-12 weeks
  • Chronic, with episodes of prolonged inflammation
    with repeated or inadequately treated acute
    infection lasting greater than 12 consecutive
    weeks

35
Sinusitis
  • Epidemiology and causes
  • Frequency of colds accounts for the frequent
    occurrence of sinusitis. About 0.5 of all
    colds are complicated by bacterial infection of
    one or more of the paranasal sinuses
  • Acute bacterial sinusitis accounts for 16 million
    visits a year
  • Chronic sinusitis is the most common chronic
    disease in the US

36
Sinusitis
  • Sinusitis Patho
  • Vast majority of acute sinusitis are caused by
    the same viruses found in URIs
  • Viral rhinosinusitis is most common
  • Which is the most common cause for acute
    bacterial sinusitis, from complications in about
    2
  • Sneezing sends fluid from the nares and nasal
    cavity into the sinuses which is a great place
    for microbial replication
  • The only reliable way of identifying causative
    organisms in acute sinusitis is direct sinus
    aspiration

37
Sinusitis
  • Sinusitis Patho continued
  • Pathogens
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae,
    Moraxella catarrhalis, streptococcus pyogenes,
    staph aureus

38

  • Clinical presentation
  • Gradual onset of symptoms
  • Pain over the affected sinus, with increasing
    pain
  • Pain is worse with coughing
  • Area of pain corresponds the sinus affected
  • Develop over at least 2 weeks of URI symptoms
  • Nasal congestion, runny nose, pressure, cough,
    sore throat, eye pain, malaise, and fatigue,
    headache, cough, fever

39
Sinusitis
  • Sinusitis objective findings
  • Purulent secretions, red swollen nasal mucosa,
    purulent secretions from middle meatus
  • On palpation there is tenderness
  • Sinusitis testing
  • None is usually indicated
  • X-rays or CTs may be very helpful
  • Shows air-fluid levels and more than 4mm of
    mucosal thickening
  • Stains or cultures of mucus may be indicated
  • Allergy testing

40
Sinusitis
  • Sinusitis Management
  • Usually viral
  • Supportive care is most helpful
  • Sinus rinse
  • Few meds are helpful

    aphasia, palsy, seizures, altered mental status,
    osteomyelitis, swelling, meningitis, empyema,
    abscess

43
Sinusitis
  • Sinusitis patient education
  • Should focus on the worsening of symptoms
  • Avoid all contributing factors
  • Smoke, allergens, antihistamine
  • Increase fluids

44
Pharyngitis
  • Pharyngitis and tonsillitis are generalized
    inflammatory process of both infectious and non
    infectious etiology
  • Most cases are viral and self-limiting
  • Most cases of pharyngitis are contagious
  • All cases of tonsillitis are contagious

45
Pharyngitis
  • Epidemiology
  • 8 of all office visits
  • Viral more common in cold weather

  • Patho
  • 40 of cases have no know cause
  • URI is 30-50
  • Influenza, coxsackievirus, enterovirus, RSV,
    Rhinoviruses, CMV, EBV, HIV
  • Bacterial typically cause exudates
  • Which is 20 of sore throats
  • 10-20 of adult cases and could lead to the most
    serious complications like heart disease, and
    rheumatic
  • 80 serotypes of streptococcus
  • Most significant stain based on the M protein
    which is antiphagocytic, and if a patient becomes
    immune to this bacteria, it provides protection
    for future infections of this type

47
Pharyngitis
  • Patho continued
  • Streptococcus pyogenes strains are more virulent
    with more renal disease side effects
  • Streptococcus exotoxins can cause bacteremia,
    deep tissue cellulitis, toxic shock
  • Other bacteria
  • N gonorrhea, H flu, streptococcus pneumoniae
  • Corynebacterium diphtheria and hemolyticum are
    associated with epiglottitis
  • Atypical bacteria

    bronchitis

48
Pharyngitis
  • Patho continued
  • Non-infectious causes of pharyngitis
  • Trauma, allergies, collagen vascular disease,
    autoimmune blistering disease, chemical/drug
    damage, severe dehydration.
  • Patho of Tonsillitis is usually an infectious
    disorder, with swelling and exudates with the
    same causes

49
Pharyngitis
  • Subjective findings
  • Mild to severe throat pain, tickle or itching
  • With Strep, Mono, Adenovirus the pain is more
    severe. May have the feeling of a lump
  • Dysphagia is seen with H flu
  • Hoarseness is seen with Chlamydia pneumoniae
  • Laryngitis and cough are usually viral
  • Chills and fever more common with bacterial

50
Pharyngitis
  • Subjective continued
  • Cough and congestion are rarely present
  • Allergic pharyngitis does not present with fever
  • Mono has a gradual onset of low grade fever and
    fatigue

    have a sandpaper rash on their body
  • C diphtheria has a grayish pseudomembrane over
    the mucosa of the pharynx
  • Tonsillitis has swollen posterior lymph glands on
    either side of the jaw

52
Pharyngitis
  • Testing
  • Viral throat swab cultures are used to detect
    herpes virus as well other viral infections
  • Tzanck smear of a exudate is used to detect HSV,
    and herpes zoster

  • If pt fails to improve- recheck in 2-3 days
  • May repeat cultures as needed
  • Assess for scarlet or rheumatic fever as needed
  • Hematuria may occur 1-2 weeks post strep
  • Monitor kidney function and blood pressure
  • Mono follow up to assess liver and spleen size
  • May need to do liver function tests with prolong
    symptoms or jaundice occurs
  • Prolonged throat or node pain must be reassessed
    for abscess or cellulitis
  • Enlarged tonsils or recurrent infections may
    indicate a need for tonsillectomy

55
Pharyngitis
  • Education for pharyngitis
  • prevention, replace toothbrushes
  • do not share food or drinks, avoid irritants,
    avoid allergens, avoid heavy lifting or contact
    sports with mono, always complete all medications

56
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disease
  • TMJ is a collective term that refers to disorders
    affecting the masticatory musculature and
    associated structures. Sometimes know as
    temporomandibular disorder. TMD is a cluster or
    related disorder that have many features in
    common.
  • The most common is pain in the muscles of
    mastication, the preauricular and the TMJ
  • Is a sub classification of musculoskeletal
    disorder

57
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disease
  • Epidemiology
  • 75 of people have at least one sign of joint
    dysfunction and 33 have at least one symptom,
    like face pain
  • Only about 5 are in need of treatment
  • Differentiate contributing factors
  • Predisposing factors- increase the risk
  • Initiating factors- cause the onset
  • Perpetuating factors- interfere with healing

58
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disease
  • Symptoms
  • Pain in the preauricular area/or TMJ

  • Does using your jaw cause you pain
  • Have you had jaw joint problems before
  • Does you jaw ever get stuck
  • Is opening your mouth difficult or cause pain
  • With ringing in the ear does opening or closing
    you mouth change the sound
  • Do you have frequent headaches, neck aches, or
    tooth aches

60
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disease
  • Physical finding
  • Complete exam to exclude other problems
  • Observation of gait, balance, unusual habits
  • Palpate the muscles of mastication using bimanual
    technique
  • Start with the mouth closed then open

61
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disease
  • Management
  • Involves understanding and treating the whole
    patient
  • Goals for management- reduction of pain,
    restorations of acceptable function
  • Initial TX designed to be palliative and promote
    healing, with self-help techniques and
    pharmacotherapy
  • Adjustment of diet
  • Education and alteration of oral habits (gum
    chewing)
  • ICE/ HEAT
  • Medications such as pain meds, anti-inflammatory
    meds, injection of trigger points
  • Most care will be given by the specialist

62
TMJ
  • Follow up and referral
  • Refer to a specialist is best idea for real TMJ
    disease

63
TB
  • TB
  • Testing
  • Tuberculin skin test remains the standard test
    for determining infection with Mycobacteria
    tuberculosis, but does not distinguish between
    active and latent infection
  • Who to test
  • Patient with signs and symptoms, known contact,
    high risk, people suspected to have, abnormal
    chest x-ray, medical conditions that increase
    risk, pt with HIV, immigrant, medically
    underserved, high-risk minority, resident or
    employee in a prison or long term care facility,
    employee on a health care facility

    risk of TB

66
Gingivitis
  • Inflammation of the gingiva
  • It may be characterized by edema, erythema,
    bleeding, and occasionally pain
  • Gingivitis is usually reversible with appropriate
    therapy

67
Periodontitis
  • An inflammatory disease of the supporting
    tissues of the teeth caused by specific
    microorganisms or groups of specific
    microorganisms, resulting in progressive
    destruction of the periodontal ligament and
    alveolar bone with pocket formation, recession,
    or both.
