Computerised tomography in the investigation of otalgia of unknown origin; our experience in 100 patients

Abstract

Otalgia is a common presenting symptom in the specialty of ENT. In its primary form it is caused by conditions and diseases affecting the outer, middle or inner ear structures, thus giving rise to pain and discomfort around the ear itself. However, in its secondary form (referred), pain can be remote from the source and thus provide greater diagnostic challenge due to the possibility of occult disease that is not well visualised.
