Abstract

In hemotympanum, otorrhagia and ophtalmorrhagia could be seen after nasal tamponade. Though it is very uncommon, in epistaxis, hemotympanum and perforation of tympanic membrane may be seen spontaneously. In this case we reported a 27-year-old male with bilateral spontaneous hemotympanum and tympanic membrane perforation due to epistaxis ( Video 1 ). Although nasal packing is accused from hemotympanum and otorrhagia, in treated epistaxis cases, patient's false maneuver to cessation of hemorrhage or additional pathologies of homeostasis can be responsible from those complications.

Özet

Epistaksisin anterior nazal tampon ile tedavisi sonrasında hemotimpanum, otoraji ve oftalmoraji gelişebildiği bilinmektedir. Epistaksis sırasında herhangi bir müdahale olmaksızın spontan hemotimpanum ve timpan membran perforasyonu gelişmesi ise çok nadir izlenen bir komplikasyondur. Bu yazıda 27 yaşında erkek hastada, epistaksis sonrası izlenen bilateral spontan hemotimpanum ve timpan membran perforasyonu sunulmuştur (Video 1). Nazal tampon sonrası gelişmesi beklenen bu komplikasyonun spontan bir şekilde gerçekleşmesi, hastaların epistaksis sırasında yanlış manevralar ile kanamayı durdurması ile olabileceği gibi, altta yatan hematolojik patolojiler nedeniyle de olabilmektedir.
