Aural atresia is a congenital disease that is characterized by an embryologic developmental defect of the external auditory canal (EAC). There is an erythematous, bulging tympanic membrane by otoscope in physical examination of acute otitis media (AOM). Children with aural atresia experience AOM as children have normal anatomy. However, its diagnosis is hard due to the absence of EAC. Facial paralysis is an intratemporal complication of AOM. If this complication develops in a child with aural atresia and otitis media, it makes the condition even more complicated. A 10-month old child who had such a condition is presented in this paper.
外耳道闭锁是一种先天性疾病，其特征为外耳道（EAC）存在胚胎发育缺陷。在急性中耳炎（AOM）的体格检查中，通过耳镜可观察到鼓膜呈红斑样、膨隆。患有外耳道闭锁的儿童会患急性中耳炎，因为这些儿童的解剖结构正常。然而，由于没有外耳道，其诊断较为困难。面瘫是急性中耳炎的颞内并发症。如果这种并发症发生在患有外耳道闭锁和中耳炎的儿童身上，会使病情更加复杂。本文介绍了一名患有此类病症的10个月大儿童。
