However, it was not dependent on whether the perforation was in the anterior or posterior location. Logistic regression analysis revealed that penetrating injuries sustained through the ear canal and the ear syringing intervention were the only risk factors important in predicting the non-healing of traumatic tympanic membrane perforation.
The thickness of the mucosal layer was 8. Seven days after the perforation, the repaired TM had a mean thickness of The epithelial layer of the TM showed hyperplasia, with three to five rows throughout the TM length. There was a more marked epithelial reaction in the TM portion midway between the annulus and malleus handle, at the place where the perforation was performed Fig.
In the middle layer, there was a great predominance of basophilic nucleus cells, probably fibroblasts. The lamina propria filled the perforation site in some of the animals. Clusters of red blood cells were present, probably indicating blood capillaries.
The greater proliferative reaction, as well as the thickest region of the TM, occurred midway between the annulus and the malleus handle Fig. The mean thickness of the lamina propria was The mucosal layer showed a row of simple hyperplasic columnar cells in most of the tympanic membranes Fig. The mean thickness of the mucosal layer was 5. Ten days after the perforation, the repaired tympanic membrane showed thickness of Epithelial tissue was identified with up to two rows of cells in most of the TM Fig.
The thickness of the epithelial layer was EAC, external auditory canal; m, malleus handle; ep, epithelial layer; Lp, lamina propria; annulus, tympanic annulus; mucosa, mucosal layer. The lamina propria showed an apparent reduction in the number of fibroblasts in all regions of TM. Such occasional fibroblasts showed a more organized and aggregated distribution. There was a trend of decreased blood capillaries Fig. The mucosal layer showed one row of flattened mucosal cells in most of the TM Fig.
Fourteen days after the perforation, the repaired TM had a thickness of The epithelial tissue showed up to two rows of flattened epithelial cells throughout the length of the TM Fig. The mean thickness of the epithelial layer was 5. EAC, external auditory canal; m, malleus handle; ep, epithelial layer; LP, lamina propria; mucosa, mucosal layer. In the middle layer, basophilic nucleus cells, probably fibroblasts were present, but possibly at smaller amounts when compared to the shorter periods Fig.
The mucosal layer showed one row of flattened cells throughout the length of the TM Fig. The mean thickness of the mucosal layer was 2. The closure of the tympanic membrane occurred around days after traumatic perforation, and the healing process was complete on the 14th day.
After the perforation, the healing process of the TM is typically described as occurring in three distinct phases, but temporally overlapping: inflammatory, proliferative and remodeling. In experimental skin studies, the inflammatory phase begins immediately after tissue injury and lasts for days. Koopmann CF. Cutaneous wound healing.
Witte MB, Barbul A. General principles of wound healing. Surg Clinics North Am. This phase consists of a disarray of blood vessels with increased vascular permeability, leakage of serum proteins, platelets and coagulation factors. After 5 or 6 h of tissue injury, polymorphonuclear neutrophils are recruited to the wound, while monocytes are recruited after h.
The proliferative phase is classically characterized by epithelial proliferation; proliferation of fibroblasts with collagen deposition; and by angiogenesis, with granulation tissue formation. The proliferative phase is usually present from day 4 to day 14 in an experimental study of skin. On the 3rd day after the traumatic perforation, a more proliferative, hyperplastic epithelial layer, with approximately rows of epithelial cells, was observed in the TM, both near the malleus handle and close to the tympanic annulus Fig.
After days, the epithelial mitotic activity intensified, with portions of 5 rows of epithelial cells Figure 4 and Figure 5. There was a tendency for epithelial bridge formation that advanced in the direction of the tympanic perforation closure.
This proliferative activity of the outer epithelial layer of TM has been described as occurring within the first hours after tissue injury. Koba R. Epidermal cell migration and healing of the tympanic membrane: an immunohistochemical study of cell proliferation using bromodeoxyuridine labelling. Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol. Early structural tympanic membrane reactions to myringotomy: a study in an acute otitis media model. In the literature, there are reports of the existence of epithelial proliferative centers near the malleus handle and the tympanic annulus region.

Many infections that cause ruptures can be treated at home with rest and by protecting your ears. However, see your doctor if you notice discharge from your ear or you experience severe ear pain for more than a few days.
There are plenty of successful diagnostic and treatment options for ruptured eardrums. Eardrum repair is a surgical procedure used to fix a hole or tear in the eardrum tympanic membrane. This injury can occur after exposure to a….
Ear irrigation is a routine procedure used to remove excess earwax, called cerumen, or foreign materials from the ear. Here's what you need to know about the possible causes of ear bleeding. You should call your doctor if you're bleeding from your ear. Ear barotrauma, also known as airplane ear, is a condition that causes ear discomfort when you experience pressure changes, such as altitude change.
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss SSHL occurs when you lose your hearing very quickly. It can happen instantly or over a span of several days.
A middle ear infection otitis media occurs when a virus or bacteria cause inflammation in the area behind the eardrum. It is most common in children. Labyrinthitis is an inner ear disorder in which a nerve that detects head movement becomes inflamed. Your doctor will need to help you treat it. Health Conditions Discover Plan Connect.
