Abstract
|
|
|
|
Patients who underwent endoscopic nasal surgery usually perform nasal washing with saline solution. Complications of nasal washing are not common, but there may be nasal discomfort, pain, ear fullness and acute otitis media. In rare cases, the occurrence of labyrinthitis due to complications of acute otitis media has been reported in the literature. A 38-year-old male patient visited our clinic with complete hearing loss after nasal washing. First, high-dose steroid therapy was performed under suspicion of sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to identify other causes. As a result, labyrinthitis was diagnosed. We report a case of acute otitis media after nasal washing followed by labyrinthitis and complete hearing loss in a short time.
