Description

Check out the otoscopic view of epitympanitis complicated by a cholesteatoma in the tense part of the tympanic membrane. This model demonstrates the pathological presence of keratinizing epithelium within the middle ear cavity, leading to structural damage and distortion. The visualization highlights characteristic retraction, debris accumulation, and the destructive effect on surrounding ossicular structures. Learners can reflect on the anatomical consequences of this chronic condition, including erosion and altered sound conduction pathways.
