Numerous papers have reported the presence of reactive but benign bony exostosis in the external auditory canal of swimmers; of both cold and warm water. This outgrowth may lead to stenosis of the canal with associated complications such as repeated cerumen impaction, infections and also hearing loss. In this case report, we will present the case of a 62-year-old gentleman who was referred for imaging by an ENT specialist following difficulty with visualisation of the tympanic membrane during otoscopy.
许多论文都报道了游泳者外耳道中存在反应性但良性的骨外生骨疣，无论冷水还是温水环境。这种增生可能导致外耳道狭窄，并伴有反复耵聍栓塞、感染以及听力损失等并发症。在本病例报告中，我们将呈现一位62岁男性患者的病例，该患者在耳镜检查时难以看清鼓膜，随后由耳鼻喉科专家转诊进行影像学检查。
