Congenital malformations of ear causing impairment of hearing (Q16)
Clinical Information
Cerebrospinal Fluid Otorrhea - Discharge of cerebrospinal fluid through the external auditory meatus or through the eustachian tube into the nasopharynx. This is usually associated with CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA (e.g., SKULL FRACTURE involving the TEMPORAL BONE;), NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURES; or other conditions, but may rarely occur spontaneously. (From Am J Otol 1995 Nov;16(6):765-71)
Hypertelorism - Abnormal increase in the interorbital distance due to overdevelopment of the lesser wings of the sphenoid.
