Abstract:

Cholesteatomas occurring behind an intact TM are relatively unusual, and intratympanic keratomas are even less common. This article presents the case of a Baffin Zone Inuit gentleman with an intratympanic cholesteatoma confined to the membranous portion of his TM. Although it is generally accepted that many native populations, including the Inuit, demonstrate an elevated preponderance of aural disease, cholesteatoma formation, particularly within the TM, in an individual from this area of the high Arctic is extremely rare.

The Cochlea

The Cochlea

The cochlea is a coiled structure in the inner ear that contains hair cells—the sensory receptors of the auditory system. Sound waves are transmitted to the cochlea by small bones attached to the eardrum called the ossicles, which vibrate the oval window that leads to the inner ear. This causes fluid in the chambers of the cochlea to move, vibrating the basilar membrane.

Anatomy of the Ear

Anatomy of the Ear

Auditory sensation, commonly called hearing, involves the transformation of sonic waves into neural impulses facilitated by the structures of the auditory organ. The prominent, flesh-like structure on the side of the head, called the auricle, directs sound waves towards the auditory canal. The auricle is often mislabeled as the pinna, a term more aligned with mobile structures like a feline's external ear. The auditory canal penetrates the cranium via the external auditory meatus of the...
