☉Otosclerosis
→slowly progressive hearing loss without prior trauma or infection. Tinnitus is present in 75% of cases, a positive family history in 60%, and imbalance in 25% of cases. Women may notice onset or exacerbation during pregnancy.
→Physical Exam: only 10% having a pinkish hue behind the tympanic membrane (Schwartze's sign). Although uncommon, Schwartze's sign is almost pathognomonic for otosclerosis. The tuning fork exam may indicate a conductive hearing loss, with bone conduction greater than air conduction first at 256 Hz, then 512Hz, and finally 1024 Hz.
→★Carhart's notch is a 10-30dB drop in the bone line at 2000Hz, induced by stapes fixation. When present, Carhart's notch is virtually diagnostic of otosclerosis

●Nose
→Ethmoid sinus(fully born)→Sphenoid(developed from 6 y/o)→Frontal(10-12 y/o)→Maxillary(15 y/o)

1.Allergic rhinits
2.Nasal polyp: frog face
3.Atrophic rhinitis & Ozena臭鼻: olfactory loss
4.Wegener's granulomatosis: renal failure, TX: steroid
5.Epistaxis: Kiesselbach's plexus, Littel's area (anterior portion of the septum has a rich vascular supply)
6.Osteoma of frontal sinus: most common benign tumor
7.Mucocele: in frontal sinus
8.Sinusitis
→Kartagener's triad: bronchiectasis, situs inversus, dextrocardia
→FESS: functional endoscopic sinus surgery

●Nasopharynx
1.NPC:
→1. jugulodigastric LAP(earliest) 2.Nasal bleeding 3. E tube obstruction 4.hearing loss....
→EBV IgA/VCA
→5 year survival: 34%

2.Nasopharyngeal angiofibroma
