    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Tuberculous otitis media (TOM) incidence has declined with reduced pulmonary tuberculosis.
    • Classical signs of TOM are now rarely observed in clinical practice.

    Observation:

    • Fourteen cases of TOM were analyzed.
    • Subtle symptoms like dull ear ache, whitish-grey mucosal changes, and granulation tissue are key indicators.
    • Classical signs (profuse discharge, hearing loss, facial paralysis) are infrequent.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention for TOM is safe when combined with anti-tubercular drugs.
    • Early identification of TOM requires vigilance for non-classical signs in chronic middle ear disease.

    Implications:

    • Otologists must consider TOM in chronic middle ear disease, even with atypical presentations.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management of TOM are crucial despite its rarity.
