Abstract
|
|
|
|
Otalgia is a common symptom with diverse causes due to its complex sensory innervations. It can be broadly classified into two groups. Primary (otogenic) otalgia is defined as pain resulting from ear diseases and secondary (referred) otalgia arises from pathologic processes and structures other than the ear. Its workup is complex and no simple algorithm exists. In this review, authors collected and analyzed articles on otalgia and described anatomical considerations and clinical evaluation of otalgia, and outlined various causes and treatment options for primary and referred otalgia.
